All over the world I'm known

But I'm still that kid from the ghetto

Where I'm from the tide is attached

And the people rarely make plans for the morrow

When the whole town is poor in their minds

And the slavery we chose we deny

This foundation it won't survive

Into splinter

It shatter

Oh what a night

Strippers and white lines

And if I interject

They won't fly

Being alone was all I'd always known

From the pain was when I passed out on this floor

And I borrowed when I didn't have my own

From the poverty folks who love to moan

Win upon win and I still can't sleep

Life always brings suffering you see

These dreams of mine they come alive into nothingness it all falls down

Oh what a night

Strippers and white lines

And if I interject

They won't fly

Oh what a night

It blooms and it withers and die

And that's if I interject they won't fly

What a night

Peaches and white wine

And that's if I interject they won't fly

Smart monkey don't monkey around with another monkey's banana

Smart monkey don't monkey around with another monkey's banana

Smart monkey don't monkey around with another monkey's banana
