VERSE 1
Now you walk into the room
Wearin’ shoes three feet wide
You got a brand new woman man
She just made you a bride
You got a brand new house
With your woman by your side
You think you’ve gone to heaven child
You’ve already died
CHORUS
I didn’t mean to sound like I ain’t no fun
I didn’t mean, I surely didn’t mean to hurt no one
You spend your time, you put your troubles in the run
One day, your bad day is gonna come
VERSE 2
Now you’re eighteen years old
Ain’t that a great age to be
You’re living in the age of dynacord
Jet airplanes and TV
You got a little sister
She’s a lot like me
Boy you never go to Heaven child
You got someplace else to be
CHORUS
I didn’t mean to sound like I ain’t no fun
I didn’t mean, I surely didn’t mean to hurt no one
You spend your time, you put your troubles in the run
One day, your bad day is gonna come
BRIDGE
Change coming at you every day
Only thing that’s here to stay
All the time things are getting better
Look out now you’ve got a change in the weather
VERSE 3
Now you may have a nice wife
And you may have some nice kids
You may get to grow old
And talk about everything that you did
Well you have a nice house
And you’re living by the sea
I’m warning you child
Hell comes in degrees
CHORUS
I didn’t mean to sound like I ain’t no fun
I didn’t mean, I surely didn’t mean to hurt no one
You spend your time, you put your troubles in the run
One day, your bad day is gonna come

VERSE 1
White lights surround my eyes
They’re tiny and silver
My breath’s getting shorter now
My mind starts to quiver
Black and whites turn to grey
And I start to shiver
I never knew terror ‘til I looked into the mirror
CHORUS
Baby
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
You come home this morning child
You know that something just ain’t right
VERSE 2
My voice is smaller now
And it took a beating
My eyes are redder now
It feels like they’re bleeding
Oh China’s alive in me now
But I’m only human
There’s no colors no more
If they’re there then I can’t see ‘em
CHORUS
Baby
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
You come home this morning child
You know that something just ain’t right
VERSE 3
I’m on my knees now baby
I’m beggin’ you please
Please, please
Don’t leave me
Come a little closer now
Let me whisper in your ear
I’m dying babe
You gotta get me outta here
CHORUS
Baby
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
You come home this morning child
You know that something just ain’t right
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
Baby where’d you stay last night
You come home this morning child
You know that something just ain’t right

VERSE 1
There’s a place
Not too far
In my mind
In my heart
You know that I used to live
Long ago
I’ll be here a while
And then I’ll go
VERSE 2
I was different
Back then
Kinda young
Kinda tense
But I learned
And now I understand
I was here a while
Then I’ll be back again
It’s alright
CHORUS
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
You’re a stranger in this town
Man you’re lost and then you’re found
But this time
I think I’ll stay a while
VERSE 3
There’s a place
That I go
When my troubles
Seem to grow
Maybe, I’ll take you there
Sometime
Well I was here a while yeah
You’ll take me back this time
I need to know child
CHORUS
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
You’re a stranger in this town
Man you’re lost and then you’re found
But this time
I think I’ll stay a while
VERSE 4
I packed my bags and said goodbye
To my friends, to my life
And away I go
Into the night
Maybe I’ll be here a while yeah
Oh now won’t you put up a fight, that’s right
CHORUS
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
You’re a stranger in this town
Man you’re lost and then you’re found
But this time
I think I’ll stay a while

VERSE 1
It was Thursday quite some time ago
If I do remember clear
I was riding on a great grey horse
With a man his name Revere
And we disembarked
At a gathering of nuns
I said my name was Jesus
And addressed them one by one
The head mother spoke up clearly
Better leave my girls alone
You’re getting much too old for this
And you’re wanted on the phone
The only one who would phone me here
Would be my dear friend Paul
So I smoked another cigarette
And decided to take the call
This is what I said to him…
CHORUS
I’m the one
But I ain’t no prophecy
Seventh son
I can do anything
I’m the supernatural
Monkey child
I’m the supernatural
Monkey
VERSE 2
When I reached the phone
I got a great big shock
It was Einstein on the line my man
He was dumber than a rock
He wanted to know
If I would meet him for a drink
Said he had a great big problem
Wanted me to help him think
When I reached the bar
He sat astride a little golden calf
Said I rode it downtown man
Just to get a laugh
He led me straight inside
I sat beside an ancient queen
She said "You can call me Jed"
"I've seen you in my dreams"
This what I said to her I said...
CHORUS
I’m the one
But I ain’t no prophecy
Seventh son
I can do anything
I’m the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I’m the Supernatural
Monkey
VERSE 3
Batman stood behind me
He was dressed in a flowing cape
With a fairy angel child
Who kept on shouting rape
And Einstein popped the question
Right there at the bar
How can I take these good things
and put them in a jar?
This what I said...
CHORUS
I’m the one
But I ain’t no prophecy
Seventh son
I can do anything
I’m the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I’m the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I'm the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I'm the Supernatural
Monkey
I'm a Monkey Child
