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
Just remember one thing don't lose your head
to a woman that'll spend your bread"
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 was accused
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
And in love with a slit eyed lady
God I was glad I found her
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 firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't need to come here anyway
Just remember, every picture tells a story don't it
