Seen the carnival at Rome

Had the women, I had the booze

All that I can remember now

Is little kids without no shoes

Chorus 1

So, I saw that train and I got on it

With a heartful of hate and a lust for vomit

Now I'm walking

on the sunnyside of the street

Stepped over bodies in Bombay

Ended up in Nepal

Up on the roof with nothing at all

And I knew that day

I was going to stay right where I am
