Tramps like us,
baby we were born to run.
I am on the right track,
Baby, I was born this way…
My folks were always putting him down
They said he came from the wrong side of town
They told me he was bad but I knew he was sad
That’s why I fell for the leader of the pack
Down in the boondocks,
Down in the boondocks,
People put me down 'cause that’s the side of town I was born in.
I love her, she loves me, but I don’t fit in her society,
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks.
A country boy can survive,
Country folks can survive
Did you think I’d crumple?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh not I,
I will survive
Just wanna rest my head
And lay down with roses in our bed
They say heaven can wait
You and I, we’ll survive.
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
Up on the airplane
Nearer my god to thee
I start making a deal
Inspired by gravity
What goes up must come down
Spinnin’ wheel got to go ‘round
Talkin’ ‘bout your troubles it’s a cryin’ sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin’ wheel spin
Well, you’re going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you’re strong, but what’s the use of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Oh, let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it’s the life that I choose
Sing about the six blade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I don’t know where I’ll be tonight but I’d always tell you where I am
I hear that train a comin’,
Coming round the bend,
I ain’t seen the sunshine,
Since I don’t know when,
I am stuck in Folsum prison,
And time keeps draggin’ on…
Well that Spanish train still runs between
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she’s running still.
Don’t go riding on that long black train…
Black is black,
I want my baby back.
It’s gray, it’s gray,
Since she went away, oh oh,
What can I do?
‘Cause I-I-I-I-I’m feelin’ blue.
I got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
Yes, I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
But she’s a black magic woman
And she’s tryin’ to make a devil out of me
Cursed
Black magic night
We’ve been struck down
Down in this Hell
Spells surround me day and night
Stricken by the force of evil light
The force of evil light
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight’s shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you
