It was a moonlight mishap
You lost your party hat
Seems your lifestyle ain´t so worthwhile after all
A heavy-hearted taxi ride
Then a walk on the wild side
Did your guardian angel let you down?
Gonna lay low and play it straight
It´s time to rejuvenate
Gonna kick start your heart until you come around

I can tell you now; you´ve really gotten the blues
I can tell you now; that I´ve walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You better get outta the way
It´s history made the hard way
From a hero to a zero once again
Ain´t no time for vanity
Or this insanity
You´re maladjusted and now you´re busted once again

I can tell you now; it comes as no surprise
I can tell you now; by that look in your eyes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You´re looking kinda punch drunk
Cuz that´s the way you strut your stuff
With a swing and a swagger down the road you go
You shoulda made a better choice
And listened to your inner voice
You gotta get right or get left, don´t ya know

I can tell you now; it´s the peak of bad news
I can tell you now; that I´ve walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown
The sweet and lowdown
Gimme the sweet - the sweet and lowdown
