Big Man On Mulberry Street Lyrics - A Matter Of Trust: The Bridge To Russia - Billy Joel

Why can't I lay low 

Why can't I say what I mean 

Why don't I stay home 

And get myself into some boring routine 

Why can't I calm down 

Why is it always a fight 

I can't get unwound 

Why do I throw myself into the night 

I'm on the outside 

I don't fit into the groove 

Now I ain't a bad guy 

So tell me what am I trying to prove 

Why can't I cool out 

Why don't I button my lip 

Why do I lash out 

Why is it I always shoot from the hip

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I cruise from houston to canal street 

A misfit and a rebel 

I see the winds talking to themselves 

And I can understand 

Why is it every time I go out 

I always seem to get in trouble 

I guess I made an impression on somebody 

North of hester and south of grand 

And so in my small way 

I'm a big man on mulberry street 

I don't mean all day 

Only at night when I'm light on my feet 

What else have I got 

That I'd be trying to hide 

Maybe a blind spot 

I haven't seen from the sensitive side 

Photos 

But you know in my own heart 

I'm a big man on mulberry street 

I play the whole part 

I leave a big tip with every receipt 

I'm so romantic 

I'm such a passionate man 

Sometimes I panic 

What if nobody finds out who I am
