Feel like messing up, cutting my teeth
On stolen candy, chewing on something sweet
I dont know what, what I came here for
Stumbling down these streets, trying to find your door
Take the long way round, long walk across this town
If I was any good at painting, Id paint it up and down
But Im not, Im just trying not to make a sound
Whistling to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around
Mess around, mess around, mess around
Wanna tell it like it is from heavens point of view
But I would not have lived in vain if I could utter one thing true
Or not build this life so artificially
Not go about it all so goddam superficially
Lay myself down, quit running so ragged
Blaze me a trail just a little less jagged
But for now Im just stuck here in this town
Singing to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around
Mess around, mess around, mess around
On stolen candy, chewing on something sweet
I dont know what, what I came here for
Stumbling down these streets, trying to find your door
Take the long way round, long walk across this town
If I was any good at painting, Id paint it up and down
But Im not, Im just trying not to make a sound
Whistling to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around
Mess around, mess around, mess around
Wanna tell it like it is from heavens point of view
But I would not have lived in vain if I could utter one thing true
Or not build this life so artificially
Not go about it all so goddam superficially
Lay myself down, quit running so ragged
Blaze me a trail just a little less jagged
But for now Im just stuck here in this town
Singing to myself the Fourth Street Mess Around
Mess around, mess around, mess around
