Pure Prine

It was raining. It was cold

West Bethlehem was no place
for a twelve year old

So he packed his bags
and he headed out

To find out what
the world's about

He went to France.
He went to Spain

He found love.
He found pain.

He found stores
so he started to shop

But he had no money
so he got in trouble with a cop

Kids in trouble with the cops

From Israel didn't have no home

So he cut his hair
and moved to Rome

It was there he met
his Irish bride

And they rented a flat
on the lower east side of Rome...

Italy that is

Music publishers, book binders,
Bible belters, Money Changers,

Spoon Benders and lots
of pretty Italian chicks.
