I was somebody somebody knew I'm a qualified entertainer Kicking into the rim 'til it's true Saving all my time for later This white dove on my shoulder I caught him under the bridge Kicking trash, getting older What a way to live My attackers are cracking a joke I was born out in the stable Filling the blanks with smoke And doing anybody a favors And this white dove on my shoulder I caught him under the bridge Kicking trash, getting older What a way to live What a way to live What a way to live What a way to live Well I got a lifetime's supply of beliefs But I've got no idea where they come from And the last time I passed by Louise She was calling out for someone This white dove on my shoulder I caught him under the bridge Kicking trash, getting older What a way to live What a way to live What a way to live What a way to live
