[A]
[Em] Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto,
[A] I've lived all over this town.
This [E]
ain't no fooling around, no time for dancing, I ain't got time for a noun.
[A]
Can't read the message, look at the seabird, hope for an [Am] answer someday.
I got three fast horses, a couple of beaters, you don't even know my real name.
High on [Em] the hussar, on the thotter loading,
[A] [Am] everything's ready to roll.
[A]
Sleeping the daytime light, working the nighttime, I might not [Am] ever get home.
[E]
This ain't no party, no fooling around, this ain't the mud club or CBTV.
[Am]
Heard about Eastwood?
Heard about Eastwood?
Heard about Westbrook DA?
You ought to know, not to stand by the window, somebody's sleeping up there.
I got some groceries, some clean up order, to last a couple of days.
But I ain't got no sneakers, ain't got no headphones, ain't got no records to play.
[E]
Watch me in college?
Watch me in high school, gonna be different this time.
Hes said no postcard, I ain't no top for a noun.

Traveling transit, got to prove no roadblocks, this bandit ain't worth the trial.
We've got computers, we're trapped in sunlight, I know that that ain't allowed.
We've got such schemes, we've got such hustlers, only to sleep in the dark.
I've changed my hairstyle so many times now, I don't know what I look like.

You've played all night, no fun.
