Strolling down atlantic avenue I'm looking for adventure, something new And there is not a single thing I wouldn't do I'm looking at the way it used to be Things are clear that I could never see And the world is now the way it was meant to be And I'm twice the man I was I'm so tired of drivin' down a one way street I live on the island where three rivers meet I hated myself for the way I was But now I can forgive myself because I'm twice the man I was Oh so good to be back home again And I'm so relieved I missed the bitter end Cos the gratitude on which my life depends Says I'm twice the man I was Well I bathed in the fountain of eternal youth Prayed on the mountain where Jesus soothed Chastised the devil where the prophets stood One foot in eden, one in hollywood I loved all the women that I never should You know it's all because I'm twice the man I was Simple situations used to baffle me Blind to the colours that I couldn't see I stared in the face of death a thousand times Slid down the razor blade of public life
