Well, I'm stranded in the city
that never sleeps
Some of these women they just
give me the creeps
I'm avoidin' the south
side the best I can
These memories I got they can
strangle a man
Well, I came ashore
in the dead of the night
Lot of things can get in the way
when you're tryin' to do
what's right
You don't understand it,my
feelin' for you
You'd be honest with me
if you only knew
I'm not sorry for
nothing I've done
I'm glad I fought,
I only wish we'd won
The Siamese twins are
comin' to town
People can't wait,
they've gathered around
When I left my home the sky
split open wide
I never wanted to go back there,
I'd rather have died
You don't understand it, my
feelin' for you
You'd be honest
with me if only you knew
<Interlude>
My woman got a face
like a teddy bear
She's tossin' a baseball bat
in the air
The meat is so tough you can't
cut it with a sword
I'm crashin' my car
trunk first into the board
They say that my eyes are pretty
and my smile is nice
Well, I'd sell it to ya at a
reduced price
You don't understand it, my
feeling for you
You'd be honest
with me if only you knew
<Interlude>
Some things are too terrible
to be true,
I won't come here no more
if it's botherin' you
There's a Southern Pacific
leaving at 9:45
I'm havin' a hard time,
believin' some people
would ever arrive
I'm stark naked but I don't care
I'm goin' off into the woods I'm
hunt'n' bare
You don't understand it,
my feeling for you
Well, you'd be honest with me
if only you knew
<Interlude>
I'm here to create the new
imperial empire
I'm gonna do whatever
circumstances require
I care so much for you,
didn't think I could
I can't tell my heart that
you're no good
Well, my parents, they warned me
not to risk my years
And I still got their advice
oozing out of my ears
You don't understand it,
my feeling for you
Well, you'd be honest with me
if only you knew
