32nd Street
Ooh, I'd rather have my life than be embalmed
Yes, I'd rather have a bad time than no time at all
Ooh, I'd rather take the storm than be becalmed
Yes, I'd rather have my life than be embalmed
But if I was a monkey up a tree
Well, all you big old blackbirds come and take a peck at me
Oh but I'd rather have that life than be embalmed
Oh yes, I'd rather take that writing off the wall
Well now, if I was a monkey up a tree
Or down in some old basement on 32nd Street
But I'd rather live a nightmare that's my own
Yes, I'd rather take that writing off the wall
Sometimes I think I must be going crazy
'Cos most people seem to value that that hasn't any worth
Well, that's their business - now you know I'm easy
As long as they don't count on me to do the dirty work
Oh, I'd rather be the rain than be a pawn
Yes, I'd rather I had nothing than had something that I'd borne
Yes, I'd rather make my church the open road

Yes, I'd rather wipe that writing off the wall
Yeah now, if I was a monkey up a tree
Or in some dirty basement down on 32nd Street
Well, I'd rather take my life than be embalmed
Yes, I'd disregard that writing on the wall
Sometimes I think I must be going crazy
Most people seem to value that that hasn't any worth
Well that's their business - now you know I'm easy
As long as they don't count on me to do the dirty work
Ooh, I'd rather have my life than be embalmed
Yes, I'd rather have a bad time than no time at all
Yes, I'd rather take that storm than be becalmed
Yes, I'd rather have my life than be embalmed
Ooh, give me just one wish and leave me be
Yeah, give me some old shack upon that rocky mountain scene
But I'd rather take my life than be embalmed
Yes, I'd rather wipe that writing off the wall
