Lyrics:
Catch a taxi to the fountainhead
Blinking neon penny arcade
A young Caruso on the fire escape
Painted face ladies on parade
The newsboy
I'm a simple man
With a simple name
From this soil my people came
In this soil remain
Oh yeah, oh yeah
We made us our shoes
We trod soft
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts
that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked down by the old canal a little confused I remember well
And then they
He was just a workin' man,
Simple rules and simple plans,
Fancy words he didn't understand,
He loved with his heart,
He worked with his
life
There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you
Where simple people livin' side by side
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line, day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
There's a hole
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
to you
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife, yeah man
I mean the bare necessities
I know the local newsboy and he
Stutters all the time
It's you and me and the devil on the screen
Looking for a normal life
There's a family
Late in the evening out in the square
A man in a raincoat standing there
We met by the lamp where the newsboy cried
He stole my heart with his
And just say a simple prayer
Through the clouds, you'll wait to see His face
No matter when or where
Have you talked to the Man upstairs
He wants
the progress
Or what may yet be proved,
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.
Refrain
You must remember this,
A kiss is still
untouched by man
Within this worlds blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace
Softly tread the sand below your feed now
Two worlds, one family
(can it be that it was all so simple then?)
(Dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys)
Dedicated to the Lexus and the Ac's (can it be that it was all so
Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Led so astray
All the dark days of your life
Zero
Reset, creation of man
Foolish
Ready, to witness
life
There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you
Where simple people livin' side by side
What we need in the world today
Is a guide for the married man
Some simple thing that in every way
Would provide for the harried man
Help him not
a simple prayer
Through the clouds of lace
You'll see his face
No matter when or where
Have you talked to the man upstairs?
'Cause he wants to hear from you
my kind!
My kind!
I'm in love with a down home man.
Simple lovin' I can understand.
I've been hustled by the best of them,
And you ain't nothing
an ordinary man.
Enjoyin' the ride,
Savor the simple pleasure
With you by my side.
Who you see, this is who I am.
Please forgive me if I fall sometimes,
Just
