guy on stage

remember in the 60's

just a wee toy lad

influence by rockers

most of them were mad

throwing tv's in the pool

livin' life so fast

by the time i caught up

all of it was in the past

then arrived the 70s

i thought i was gonna lose it

then i got into it

and sold my soul to music

those of us still alive

are standing here today

tellin' people jokes that

make them wince and walk away

can you believe it

there is a little of animal

who wants to misbehave

and from now on

we're gonna try to keep

that guy on stage

the 80's and the 90's i remember as a blur

most of my time on tour

and playing shows around the world

then came the new millennium

and everything got weird

imagine me the monkey

swinging from a chandelier

can you believe it

there is a little of animal

who wants to misbehave

and from now on

we're gonna try to keep

that guy on stage

can you believe it

there is a little of animal

who wants to misbehave

and from now on

we're gonna try to keep

that guy on stage

so here i am today

and i've got a lot to say

about the things i've done

i thought was fun

to keep my trouble on the run

let me tell you something

deep inside i'm not so bad

i never meant to hurt nobody

or make nobody feel bad

can you believe it

there is a little of animal

who wants to misbehave

and from now on

we're gonna try to keep

that guy on stage
