On Your Own (Live Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

Holy man tiptoes his way across the Ganges

The sound of magic music in his ears

Videoed by a busload of tourists

Shiny shell suits on and drinking lemonade

Well, I got a funny feeling which I bought mail order

From a man in a teepee in California

Said he once was that great game show performer

Then he blew all his money away

Blew it all away

[Chorus]

So take me home, don't leave me alone

I'm not that good, I'm not that bad

No psycho killer, hooligan gorilla

I dream to riot, oh, you should try it

I'll eat parole, get gold card soul

My joy of life is on that roll

And we'll all be the same in the end

And then you're on your own

Then you're on your own

[Verse 2]

When we all go happy day-glow in the discos

The sound of magic music in our brains

Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors

He says, "Lord, give me faith, 'cause I've jumped into space"

"I'm in outer space"

[Chorus]

—me home, don't leave me alone

I'm not that good, I'm not that bad

No psycho killer, hooligan gorilla

I dream to riot, oh, you should try it

I'll eat parole, get gold card soul

My joy of life is on that roll

And we'll all be the same in the end

'Cause then you're on your own (La, la-la-la)

[Bridge]

La, la, la-la, la, la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la-la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la-la

La, la-la, la, la-la

[Chorus]

So take me home, don't leave me alone

I'm not that good, I'm not that bad

No psycho killer, hooligan gorilla

I dream to riot, oh, you should try it

I'll eat parole, get gold card soul

My joy of life is on that roll

And we'll all be the same in the end

'Cause then you're on your own

[Outro]

Then you're on your own

And then you're on your own

And then you're on your own

Your own, your own, your own, your own
