Used to live down by the beach And I used to be good on my feet And my fingers used to dance on every key Now they're just pieces of meat Used to wear a suit and tie And I used to grab a birdie every night Drive down to the hotel parking lot [And] make monkey love in the street (Instrumental section) Used to go to university Used to be the head of varsity Used to live inside this box with everyone noticin' me I used to leave the evenin' feelin' right I'll be with you each and every night Chasing that horizon in our eyes You want a garden but you got a balcony And you're always lookin' for some company You want a say, well, what you got to say? Give in to me, give in to me and see Used to live down by Hyperion Used to be a Californian Way back when before my Missouri Left not but this envy in my Heart (drawn out like a heart beat) And soul Apropos, you're beautiful You're beautiful You want a garden but you got a balcony And you're always lookin' for some company You want a say, well, what you gotta say? Give in to me, give in to me Give in to me (Instrumental section) You want a garden but you got a balcony And you're always lookin' for some company You want a say, well, what you gotta say? Give in to me, give in to me and see You want a garden but you got a mouth to feed And you're always lookin' for some company You want a say, well what you gotta say? Watcha gotta say? Watcha gotta say? Give in to me Get used to it, get used to it (garden but you got a balcony) Get used to it, get used to it (repeat til end)
