Seen the carnival down in Rome
Had the women and I had the booze
All that I remember
Is little kids without no shoes
So I saw a train, I got on it
With a heart full of hate and a lust for vomit
Now I'm walking on
The sunnyside of the street
Stepped over bodies down in Bombay
I tried to make it to the USA
But I ended up in Nepal
On the roof with nothing at all
And I knew that day
I was going to stay right where I am
On the sunnyside of the street
Been in a palace, and I’ve been in jail
I just don't want to be reborn as a snail
I want to spend eternity right where I am
On the sunnyside of the street
As my mother wept, it was then I swore
To take my life as I would a whore
I know I'm better than I was before
I will not be reconstructed
I just wanna stay where I am
Just wanna stay where I am
On the sunnyside of the street
On the sunnyside of the street
On the sunnyside of the street
On the sunnyside of the street
On the sunnyside of the street
