I will find a city, find myself a city to live in.
This ain’t no party. This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no fooling around.
Oh heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
The world moves on a woman's hips The world moves and it swivels and bops The world moves on a woman's hips The world moves and it bounces and hops
Facts are simple and facts are straight Facts are lazy and facts are late Facts all come with points of view Facts don't do what I want them to
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house ... with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well ... how did I get here?"
Same as it ever was.
It's always showtime Here at the edge of the stage

It's OK, I know nothing's wrong, nothing.
