Seen the carnival at Rome 
Had the women I had the booze 
All I can remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
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 
Tried to make it to the U.S.A.
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, on the sunnyside of the street 

Been in a palace, been in a jail 
I just don't want to be reborn a snail
Just want to spend eternity 


Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street 


As my mother wept it was then I swore
To take my life as I would a whore 
I know I'm better than before 
I will not be reconstructed


Just wanna stay right here, on the sunnyside of the street 

On the sunnyside of the street
