When I Was a Chile
Wishin' for the time
When I was a child
Couldn't talk real good
Said a lot with a smile
Didn't understand
Didn't care to know
'Bout the ways of the world
It was all a show
Oooh hooo
When I left my life
Up in Palisades
I was all alone
In a big parade
Till I found a home
In a house of style
We would dance till dawn
And it lasted for a while
Till I thought of the days of my life that were gone
And the days of my life to come
Boy I wish I'd never sung that song
All the rides were free
Tried the Ferris wheel
Tried to win a doll
With a heart of steel
"So you've heard of love" she said
"Tell me is it real?"
But I thought about it
And I lost my feel
And when she touched me I found that I just couldn't tell
If I'd wound up in heaven or in hell
Still, I drank from the waters of her well
When I'm on my way
I like to walk alone
I don't get excited
People think I'm stoned
But I just don't care
When I was a child
Couldn't talk real good
Said a lot with a smile
Didn't understand
Didn't care to know
'Bout the ways of the world
It was all a show
Oooh hooo
When I left my life
Up in Palisades
I was all alone
In a big parade
Till I found a home
In a house of style
We would dance till dawn
And it lasted for a while
Till I thought of the days of my life that were gone
And the days of my life to come
Boy I wish I'd never sung that song
All the rides were free
Tried the Ferris wheel
Tried to win a doll
With a heart of steel
"So you've heard of love" she said
"Tell me is it real?"
But I thought about it
And I lost my feel
And when she touched me I found that I just couldn't tell
If I'd wound up in heaven or in hell
Still, I drank from the waters of her well
When I'm on my way
I like to walk alone
I don't get excited
People think I'm stoned
But I just don't care
