Whats Number One — текст песни (Jim Caroll)

Those were high times back in delhi

I was left for dead

Everybody beat it to l.a.

So the papers read

But I said, "no, this is not where I get dropped off

Keep the dough Im here to blow the top off it" sixty-eight back in chicago

Watched my friends all fall

Now theyre waiting down in old key largo

For their man to call

All laid back

Sitting in the redwood sauna

Hanging slack

Like some dazed iguana Id choose the bruised up moon

Over the sun

Id lose

I guess Im confused

Whats number one

Whats number one? Im a fine one to be talking

Dig the mastermind

You see even if you hold the key

The doors locked from behind but I left

I was playing out a lone part

I was deaf to whispers of my own heart Id choose the bruised up moon

Over the sun

Id lose

I guess Im confused

Whats number one

Whats number one? like a miner seeks that main gold vein

Ill search on cutting through against the grain

Keeps me sane Id choose the bruised up moon

Over the sun

Id lose

I guess Im confused

Whats number one

Whats number one?
