Lyric Philadelphia

Your clean-living, clear-eyed
clever, level-headed brother says
he ll put all the screws
upon your newest lover
Buddha s in the fireplace
the truth s in drugs from Outer Space
maybe it s right to be nervous now

Who are these madmen!
what do they want from me!
with all of their straight-talk from their misery

Everything d be just fine
if I had the right pastime
I d ve been Raskolnikov
but Mother Nature ripped me off
in Philadelphia
I m sure that I felt healthier
maybe it s right to be nervous now

I had liberty of movement
but I m so lazy
I m so lazy
I m just so lazy

You re just a big kid
you re not so big at that
you never got the hang of it
now you re being looked at

Where have I seen you before!
Same place you saw me, I expect
I ve got a good face for memories
in Philadelphia
I m sure that I felt healthier
maybe it s right to be nervous now
