Tony Joe White - Backside Of Paradise songtekst
Je score:
They say I was born on a stormy night jamming to the blues My mama thought that I was a good luck charm But I think that I was touched with the hoodoo I must have been a swamp doctor's sacrifice 'Cause I'm on the backside of paradise All out of rhythm in my snakeskin shoes a victim of the dance A medicine man gave me something for my nerves But I think it was an aphrodisiac Suspended animation with my temperature on the rise I'm on the backside of paradise I can look out but I can't see within Can't face what's behind the mask On top of the world with you under my skin moving too fast She's a hot blooded octaroon with a heart cold as ice I'm on the backside of paradise I'm on the backside of paradise
