Marie has set up home with a woman half my age a half-wit in a leotard stands on my stage
The standards have fallen my value has dropped but don't shed a tear some walk like they own the place whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man but if you don't come near you've got to fly like an eagle prowl like a lion in Africa leap like a salmon home from the sea to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther tonight
The old home town just looks the same like a derelict man who has died out of shame like a jumble sale left out in the rain it's not good it's not right
The standards have fallen my value has dropped but don't shed a tear some walk like they own the place whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man but if you don't come near you've got to fly like an eagle prowl like a lion in Africa leap like a salmon home from the sea to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther tonight
Where did you leave your self respect you like look like a reptile your house is a wreck your existence an insult and stains that are suspect cover your clothes
The standards have fallen my value has dropped but don't shed a tear some walk like they own the place whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can to walk like a man but if you don't come near you've got to fly like an eagle prowl like a lion in Africa leap like a salmon home from the sea to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther tonight walk like a panther tonight to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther
