Στίχοι

[Verse 1]
Chief had been out of the army
For fifteen years or more
He was still marching up and down that street
Just like he was a walking to war
[Verse 2]
They called him Chief 'cause he was Indian
It was a name they said behind his back
In the summer he'd march without any shoes
Till the soles of his feet turned black
Till the soles of his feet turned black
[Verse 3]
His hands wouldn't work the machinery
‘Cause his brain told them what to say
It's a hell of a life but it's somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
[Verse 4]
Honey, I've been put through the paces
Running like a dog on a track
The wheels keep it going as fast as you get there
But you don't ever get to go back
[Verse 5]
I don't really know what I'm doing
Just watching myself in some play
And the actress looks like she wants to go home
And lie in a bed all day
Yeah, lie in a big bed all day
[Verse 6]
Her hands wouldn't work the machinery
‘Cause her brain tells them what to say
It's a hell of a life but it's somebody's life
Up and down the street all day
[Verse 7]
But I wish that you could see me
When I'm flying in my dreams
The way I laugh there way up high
The way I look when I fly
The way I laugh, the way I fly
[Verse 8]
Chief got out of the army
Jesus went to live with the poor
I'm still marching up and down that street
I don't know what I'm doing that for
I don't know what I'm doing that for
I don't know what I'm doing that for
