Lyrics
feast or famine, god or mammon, priest or shaman - opposites attract, saints and sinners, losers, winners, rank beginners - there's no going back, my old man was a dreamer, dreamed his life away, sometimes dreams are realer, than the roles we play, daddy used to say, you don't walk another man's path, you don't sing another man's song, you don't pay the whores of babylon, the road is never straight, the way is always long, but one thing i can say before i'm gone, life is never wrong, people used to laugh and say, "you never ought to make the truth your bride, "marry money, fill your tummy, "only junkies live to get that high", my first love was beauty, she tried so hard to please, then she introduced me to the beast, knocked me to my knees, you don't walk another man's path, you don't sing another man's song, you don't pay the whores of babylon, the road is never straight, the way is always long, but one thing i can say before i'm gone, life is never wrong, hold your head up high, no matter what the weight, look life in the eye, don't hesitate, life won't wait, you don't walk another man's path, you don't sing another man's song, you don't pay the whores of babylon, the road is never straight, the way is always long, but one thing i can say before i'm gone, life is never wrong
