A man walks down the street, says why am I soft in the middle now,
F Bb C
why am I soft in the middle, the rest of my life is so hard,
F Bb C
I need a photo-opportunity, I want a shot at redemption,
F Bb C
dont want to end up a cartoon, in a cartoon graveyard,
F Bb C
bonedigger, bonedigger, dogs in the moonlight,
F Bb C
far away my well-lit door,
F Bb C
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly, get these mutts away from me,
F Bb C
you know I don't find this stuff amusing no more
|[Chorus]
|F Bb C F Bb C
|If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal
|F Bb C F Bb C
|I can call you Betty and Betty when you call me, you can call me AL.

A man walks down the street, he says why am I short of attention,
F Bb C
got a short little span of attention, and woah my nights are so long,
F Bb C
wheres my wife and family, what if I die here,
F Bb C
who'll be my role-model, now that my role-model is
F Bb C
gone, gone, he ducked back down the alley with some
F Bb C
roly-poly little bat-faced girl,
F Bb C
all along, along there were incidents and accidents,
F Bb C
there were hints and allegations
|[Chorus]
|F Bb C F Bb C
|If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal
|F Bb C F Bb C
|I can call you Betty and Betty when you call me, you can call me AL.

F Bb C
A man walks down the street, its a street in a strange world,
F Bb C
maybe its the Third World, maybe its his first time around,
F Bb C
doesnt speak the language, he holds no currency,
F Bb C
he is a foreign man, he is surrounded by
F Bb C
the sound, the sound, cattle in the marketplace,
F Bb C
scatterlings and orphanages
F Bb C
he looks around, around, he sees angels in the architecture,
F Bb C
spinning in infinity, he says Hey Hallelujah!
[Chorus]
F Bb C F Bb C
Na na na na, na na na na na, Na na na na, na na na na na na
F Bb C F Bb C
Na na na na, na na na na na, Na na na na, na na na na na na
