Songtext von Swinging Man

I am a swingin' man perpetually on the lamb Free as a bird or the girls in Amsterdam Yellow taxi ride hey I never exercise The devil when I speak or when I rise Buddy Holly told me you can't save rock n' roll It's only for the lonely boys and girls I'm a courageous cat down at the Laundromat A sacred cow I never took a vow Like old buildings and whores Politicians and wars All get respect man if they last this long They used to call her Mary She changed her name to Raph Life was sometimes scary till she laughed We never had a baby but she got more tattoos And I got more material for the blues Summer's rolling in I want to lose this skin They call it art but sometimes it's just sin I am a swingin'man Hey I smile on command I don't know when or how you got to me We never had a baby but she got more tattoos And I got more material for the blues
