Go ahead and throw your punches I can take whatever you've got to give Because I've cheated death so many times Even when I didn't want to live So come down from your alter And then baby I'll come down from my throne Yeah I had to travel around the world Just to fi nd my way home I went walkin' with a bedlamite Near the Champs-Elysees in Paris France I bedded down with a starlet Even when I didn't think I stood a chance So come down from your alter And then maybe I'll come down from my throne Yeah I had to travel around the world Just to fi nd my way home I've been in books I've been in movies I've rubbed elbows with many celebrities I've jettisoned with the jet-set I've fl own over six of the seven seas So come down from your alter And then maybe I'll come down from my throne Yeah I had to travel around the world Just to fi nd my way home I think that I have met some prophets And I've befriended the lowest of the low For a while I was a rich man Now I haven't even a seed that I can sow So come down from your alter And then I'll come down from my throne Yeah I had to travel around the world Just to fi nd my way home
