Well, I'm livin' but I still ain't satisfied. I'm runnin' but I don't know where to hide. There have been lovers, places I've known. Strangers I've turned to when I've been alone.
Oh a sleeping drunkard. Up in Central Park. Or the lion hunter. In the jungle dark. Or the Chinese dentist. Or the British Queen. They all fit together.
She got a heart of steel. She don't care how I feel. But nothin' warms the chill. When I'm livin' on my own. She keep my mind in worry. She left my vision blurry.
Someone talks about a road. At the end find life's gold. . I went out to get a drink of water. But I saw an ocean far away. I thought of how much beyond awaits me.
Of man's progress I don't give a hoot. And man's estrangements of nature's arrangements. Has given cause for my heartbreak to boot. . The simple life, though filled with strife.
