Spent some time feelin' inferior. standing in front of my mirror. Combed my hair in a thousand ways. but I came out looking just the same. Daddy said " Son you better see the world. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave. But remember one thing don't lose your head. to a woman that'll spend your bread&quot. So I got out. Paris was a place you could hide away. if you felt you didn't fit in. French police wouldn't give me no peace. They claimed I was a nasty person. Down along the Left Bank minding my own. Was knocked down by a human stampede. Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot. when all I wanted was a cup of tea. I was accused. I moved on. Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough. of the things that keeps a young man alive. My body stunk but I kept my funk. at a time when I was right out of luck. Getting desperate indeed I was. Looking like a tourist attraction. Oh my dear I better get out of here. 'for the Vatican don't give no sanction. I wasn't ready for that no no. I moved right out east yeah!. On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry. sailing on my way back here. I fell in love with a slit eyed lady. by the light of an eastern moon. Shangai Lil never used the pill. She claimed that it just ain't natural. She took me up on deck and bit my neck. Oh people I was glad I found her. Oh yeah I was glad I found her. I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me. I sincerely thought I was so complete. Look how wrong you can be. The women I've known. I wouldn't let tie my shoe. They wouldn't give you the time of day. But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet. God I was glad I found her. And if they had the words I could tell to you. to help you on the way down the road. I couldn't quote you no Dickens Shelley or Keats. 'cause it's all been said before. Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off. You didn't have to come here anyway. So remember every picture tells a story don't it
