Lyrics

42nd street psycho blues, and i'm paying off the man, he can make me, he can break me, and i know that he can, if i didn't have need to be sketching my song, i would leave this dirty business, and return to the norm, blind man on the corner, won't you show me my way?, if you see my friend the star, ask him how the syndicate is, and has he finished with paying them, for the promotion job they did, if you should see my manager, tell him i was trying to be good, mouth just happened to open, fingers couldn't help but move, blind man on the corner, won't you show me my way?, 42nd street psycho blues, no i don't go to parties anymore, when they ask for entertainment, i don't feel like a guest, i feel like a whore, don't smoke or curse in public, kid, your image won't sell, trapped within the confines, of my own private hell, blind man on the corner, won't you show me my way?, isn't it right, i'm praying tonight, and you won't hear my words, i'll try and explain, it all seems so insane, you see it's only 'bout my world, i'm living three different lives, and for each i'm paying, in a world of cheating, child-beating, soul scraping, blind man on the corner, won't you show me the way?
