Oh I Was Bad

Lyrics

Oh, I was bad I was not good I didn't treat my mother like a good son should

And when she's gone Nothing can bring her back I'd do it all different as only I can

Please deal me some new cards Jack, queen and king of hearts Or of diamonds

I distain clubs and spades Except for the aces I like cards with faces

Numbers Dude, they're onto me Romans

The days are too long Ten, nine, seven, eight, seven, six Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five One, two, three Nine and eleven

Oh, visions of another world Wet wheels, dry road Behind a bush, a show of teeth

The strangeness of history Is microphone for seminar Yesterday, I didn't have two dimes

And so for today I feel OK And so for today I feel OK I feel OK
