Doin' the Things That We Want To (Live)

Now this is a song, this a song about a player in somewhere in San Francisco
At the Magicland and Theater by Sam shop
And it's called, "Doin' the Things That We Want To"

The other night we went to see Sam's play
Doin' the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
Doin' the things that he wants to
They're doin' the things that he wants to

The guy's a cowboy from some rodeo
Doin' the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go home
Doin' the things that she wants to
She's doin' the things that she wants to

The guy's a bully, the woman was a tease
Doin' the things that they want to
They fought with their words, with their bodies and their deeds
Doin' the things that they want to
And when they finished fighting, they exited the stage
Doin' the things that they want to
And was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
Doin' the things that they want to
Doin' the things that they want to

It reminds me of the movies Marty made about New York
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(Doin' the things that we want to)
A fool for life, why don't you meet the raging bull?
(Doin' the things that we want to)
Well, you're very inspirational, I love the things you do
(Doin' the things that we want to)
Well, doin' the things that we want to

There's not much you hear on the radio today
(Doin' the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(Doin' the things that we want to)
Here's to "travis bickle" and here's "Johnny boy"
(Doin' the things that we want to)

Growing up in the mean streets of New York, ah
(Doin' the things that we want to)
Well, I wrote this song 'cause I'd like to shake your hand
(Doin' the things that we want to)
In a way you guys are the best friends I ever had
(Doin' the things that we want to)
Hey, doin' the things that we want to
