Round the Bend I was a child lost in the northern plains I was reckless, tryin' to throw my life away I was too young for where I'd been Tryin' to regain my innocence Already lost my best friend Off somewhere in Vietnam I wasn't going to go look for him My destiny, just around the bend Come along this apparition An enigma for my intuition Told me hold on to what you said You got song, and you're too cla**y Hard as Canadian black ice All over you, makin' you think twice Y'already can Our destiny just around the bend Just around the bend So come on, let's go to New York city Play the night owl,it's a pity Couldn't find him, so I headed west Think everyone knows the rest I found him on the Sunset Strip Bad place to get a grip Got a band of famous men Next thing you know They took me round the bend round the bend We got down on to some magic places But the peoples around all had four faces Couldn't stand such an honest heart They couldn't wait to tear us apart Early I didn't know But the magic isn't odd you know Don't need to be alone again That's rockin', a roundin' at the bend Roundin' at the bend
