You're My Only Vice

I’ve bummed around this
One horse town.
I took a trip from a
Cauldron’s sip.
I made my mark and
Scratched it out again.
Now give me an Hallelujah or a
Big Amen!
Chorus
Now, what’s a smoke
When you are broke?
What’s a malt
When you’re at fault?
What is life, but a roll of the dice?
Baby don’t you know that you’re my only vice.
I led an army
To your door.
I gave my blood
To the poor.
I changed the world and
Turned it back again.
You might rate me a
Perfect ten.
Chorus
I’m the second coming or
So I’m told.
I healed the sick and
Cured the cold.
Stopped global warming
Turned the heat up again.
I destroyed all those nasty
Bogymen.
Chorus
I ruled the land as your
Loving king.
I rewrote
The Tao Te Ching.
I took your offerings
Gave them back again.
Salvation truly flows from my
Poison pen.
Chorus
I may be perfect but
Life is hard.
My track record
Has been marred.
I took you love as
Mine again.
I’ll be your rooster if you’ll
Be my hen.
Chorus
