Album: Reverence (1997)
He has a dirty old man, And a dirty old man, He has a dirty old man & a friend of mine.
I am a dirty old man The mean streets are home, My life´s cold, I will chill you to the bone,
Heart of stone, Have a care, I carry traces of death in my hair,
You know my breath stinks, I leave shit everywhere,
So be aware I am unfeeling Don´t you dare try appealing to my better nature,
You better wait, you are missinformed, Aint nothing warm about me,
Cold & gray, concrete clay & steel, And what else is real? I mean the actual deal,
People seem to love living under my hair, Some of them call me London,
I am also known as New York. Anywhere in the world you find me I talk the same bad talk,
Walk the same walk from side to side, You are transparent to me,
There aint a thing you can hide, Derive glamour from the stamina it takes to survive.
You think I did not know it is over with your face like a rat
Now give me your cash & go Before you are heart brakes,
You are living under my wing And all you got I am going to take, I am a dirty old man.
He has a dirty old man & a dirty old man,
He has a dirty old man & a friend of mine.
He has a dirty old man & a dirty old man,
He has a dirty old man & a friend of mine.
I am a rough old man beyond heart ache, To improve my mood I could use an earthquake,
I sit awake for my people to release the pain, So I can know peace again In my skin,
sin diceit & mistrust soaked in, I think I might just fuss Often drops of woe,
streets flow with tears, I fall down all around your ears.
If I could, if I was made of wood start a fire, no lie,
I can afford to smoke sacred fire, Cos I´dn´t bet on people changing just yet
My eyes are wet & my heart´s full of fear & regret,
So you are catching the rough edge of my tongue, I started young,
I got teenagers carrying guns. I hear you want to hold me to blame, but we are the same,
So for me win society & feel the shame, I am a rough old man.
He has a dirty old man & a dirty old man,
He has a dirty old man & a friend of mine.
He has a dirty old man & a dirty old man,
He has a dirty old man & a friend of mine.
I am a rough old man, this is who I´m.
He has a dirty old man & a dirty old man,
He has a dirty old man & a friend of mine.
