Lyrics - Big Man On Mulberry Street by Joel Billy

Why can't
I lay low
Why can't
I say what
I mean
Why don't
I stay home
And get myself into some boring routine
Why can't
I calm down
Why is it always a fight
I can't get unwound
Why do
I throw myself into the night
I'm on the outside
I don't fit into the groove
Now
I ain't a bad guy
So tell me what am
I trying to prove
Why can't
I cool out
Why don't
I button my lip
Why do
I lash out
Why is it
I always shoot from the hip
I cruise from
Houston to canal street
A misfit and a rebel
I see the winds talking to themselves
And
I can understand
Why is it everytime
I go out
I always seem to get in trouble
I guess
I made an impression on somebody
North of hester and south of grand
And so in my small way
I'm a big man on
Mulberry street
I don't mean all day
Only at night when
I'm light on my feet
What else have
I got
That
I'd be trying to hide
Maybe a blind spot
I haven't seen from the sensitive side
But you know in my own heart
I'm a big man on
Mulberry street
I play the whole part
I leave a big tip with every receipt
I'm so romantic
I'm such a passionate man
Sometimes
I panic
What if nobody finds out who
I am
