Terence Trent D'arby Greasy Chicken Lyrics

Alright... There's trouble, baby in Paradise Your chicken's trying to slide away from you You're past your days of harmony When you call it back - you carouse it through Keeping your prayers on time Getting burnin' love in cities you can't recall He's packin' up and shackin' up He's leaving home Chicken feathers and all To the bridge boys... Gives you daytime, and the nighttime Is for these... Greasy chickens [x2] (Backing vocals) Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? [X2] Say! Dig it! You're livin' out your closets You're fined a day and So are most far behind You defy the bill collector With lipstick on it and a Valentine You've seen worlds of bastards But, better late than never - you understand Your chicken didn't leave you for another woman He left you for a younger man To the bridge boys... Push your love on the girls and bastards And you'll be - a greasy chicken Ha! A greasy chicken Good God! Sing! A greasy chicken Good God! Sing it! (Backing vocals) Don't you love all your freedom baby? You're late - Ha! But it was I who would Define your soul food And with your piece of mind No less denied No more chicken bones Share your love jones Because you fellas Can't shake the vice Hee! My Lord! Greasy chicken Big fat, greasy chicken Sing! (Background vocals) Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? Greasy chicken Greasy chicken - sing! (Background vocals) Don't you love all your freedom baby? Greasy chicken Big fat, greasy chicken Here go gravy! (Background vocals) Can you stand it by your lonesome baby? OH! A little gravy... Grill a little gravy... Greasy chicken - lawd! (Background vocals) Don't you love all your freedom baby? OUTRO! OUTRO! OUTRO!...
