Intro verse 1 Feel like messing up, cutting my teeth On stolen candy, chewing on something sweet I don't know what, what I came here for Stumbling down these streets, trying to find your door Take the long way 'round, long walk across this town If I was any good at painting, I'd paint it up and down But I'm not, I'm just trying not to make a sound Whistling to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around Mess around, mess around, mess around… Mess around, mess around, mess around… Oh.......yeah Instrumental verse 2 Wanna tell it like it is from heaven's point of view But I would not have lived in vain if I could utter one thing true Or not build this life so artificially Not go about it all so goddam superficially Lay myself down, quit running so ragged Blaze me a trail just a little less jagged But for now I'm just stuck here in this town Singing to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around Mess around, mess around, mess around… Mess around, mess around, mess around… Oh.......yeah Outro
