Are You Lookin' at Me?

Well I loved the Lone Ranger and I loved that Dennis Law

Him and George Best, sure knew how a kick a ball

I wanted to be a cowboy, and learn a crack a whip

Stand up in that lonely street, two six guns on my hip

Along the mighty Beatles came, and everyone went ahhh

They could play and sing and everything, and of course that John could draw

Well that was it for me, I never once looked back

Tricks to learn, waves to catch, had a plan of attack

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me, pal?

Then we headed south, where the surf came crashing in

From black and white to colour, from innocence to sin

It was summer in December, blowing heatwaves in my mind

People talking funny, some cruel and some were kind

From the crackle of the cane, to the frown of a big black snake

From the breakers at Bondi, down to Wallaga Lake

From the sound of a million fly screen doors, closing on the past

Like that chimney the fires couldn't burn, I was built to last

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me, pal?

When I flew across the ocean, I was number one

People gave me everything, and I didn't need a gun

Walking down that avenue, I never felt so alive

People calling out my name, and I'd only just arrived

It was a tight rope walking bagpiper, in the middle of Central Park

Steam was rising from the ground, and I wore my cape out after dark

I had myself a moment, my day out in the sun

It's an unfinished story, but it's more than just begun

And I know more than one thing, but not more than two or three

An I'll tell you if you'll listen, and I'll tell you for free

It's no life being a cowboy, and eating all them beans

The coffee's cold, the herd is gone, and all you've got's your dreams

You can always put your spurs back on, but save them for Halloween

You're better off heading north, or somewhere you've never been

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me?

Are you lookin' at me?

I said, are you lookin' at me, pal?
