Once Upon a Time 歌词

A boy is born in a bed of thorns He wears his halo hanging from his horns City streets out of luck you lose To get what you need You do what you have to do Count your blessings, count your tears Some killing time, some killing years Talk big, laugh loud you better back it up It's the bottom of the river In the bottom of your cup Living life in a tenement town It'll tear you up, it'll drag you down You've been there once You don't want to go back It's all been a lie The world don't work that way Hey, somebody's knocking Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime Hey, hey somebody's knocking Somewhere down the line Once upon a time Tenenment town, steeped in soul & sin You know word gets round They're gonna deal you in But the one-eyed jack don't play him wrong When the dirt goes down, you won't live long Ain't no life in this tenement town It'll beat you up, it'll bring you down You've been there once, do you want to go back It's all been a lie The world don't work that way Hey, somebody's knocking Just takin' what I need that ain't no crime Hey, hey somebody's knocking I've been down before, you won't see me cry No way, hey somebody's knocking You can take what's yours what's mine is mine Hey, hey sonebody's knocking Somewhere down the line Once upon a time You can't go home again You walk this world alone Once upon a time Ain't no life in this tenement town It'll tear you up, it'll drag you down You've been there once, do you want to go back It's all been a lie The world don't work that way Hey, somebody's knocking Just takin' what I need that ain't no crime Hey, hey somebody's knocking I've been down before you won't see me cry No way, hey somebody's knocking You can take what's yours what's mine is mine Hey, hey somebody's knocking Somewhere down the line Once upon a time
