I was born in a landslide
In the jungle land
I can play a piano
With a funeral hand
Salt in the wound, making me blue
Salt in the wound, play me a tune
I worked on a railroad
Slept on a cot
If you got what it takes
They'll take what you got
Salt in the wound, making me blue
Salt in the wound, play me a tune
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Out on the North Sea
Where the waters are wild
You wept like a mad dog
Like an ozone child
Salt in the wound, making me blue
Salt in the wound, play me a tune
Play me a tune
Play me a tune
Play me a tune
Play me a tune
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
