Greasy Chicken — текст песни (Terence Trent D`arby)

Alright...

There`s trouble, baby
in Paradise
Your chicken`s trying to slide away from you
You`re past your days of harmony
When you call it back - you carouse it through
Keeping your prayers on time
Getting burnin` love in cities you can`t recall
He`s packin` up and shackin` up
He`s leaving home
Chicken feathers and all
To the bridge boys...
Gives you daytime, and the nighttime
Is for these...
Greasy chickens [x2]

(Backing vocals)
Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? [X2]

Say! Dig it!
You`re livin` out your closets
You`re fined a day and
So are most far behind
You defy the bill collector
With lipstick on it and a Valentine
You`ve seen worlds of bastards
But, better late than never - you understand
Your chicken didn`t leave you for another woman
He left you for a younger man
To the bridge boys...
Push your love on the girls and bastards
And you`ll be - a greasy chicken
Ha!

A greasy chicken
Good God! Sing!
A greasy chicken
Good God! Sing it!

(Backing vocals)
Don`t you love all your freedom baby?

You`re late - Ha!
But it was I who would
Define your soul food
And with your piece of mind
No less denied
No more chicken bones
Share your love jones
Because you fellas
Can`t shake the vice
Hee!
My Lord!

Greasy chicken
Big fat, greasy chicken
Sing!

(Background vocals)
Can you stand it by your lonesome baby?

Greasy chicken
Greasy chicken - sing!

(Background vocals)
Don`t you love all your freedom baby?

Greasy chicken
Big fat, greasy chicken
Here go gravy!

(Background vocals)
Can you stand it by your lonesome baby?

OH! A little gravy...
Grill a little gravy...
Greasy chicken - lawd!

(Background vocals)
Don`t you love all your freedom baby?

OUTRO! OUTRO! OUTRO!...
