[Verse 1]
I hear a preacher on the corner
Rantin' like a crazy man
He say there trouble, troubles a-comin'
I can read it like the back of my hand

[Verse 2]
I see love, I see misery
Jammin' side by side on the stage
In the wind some mournful melody
I can read it like the back of my hand
The back of my hand
Oh yeah

[Instrumental Break]
Oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Oh, I see dreams, I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the ah, ah, ah, ah
Well, read it like the back of my hand

[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Read it like the back of my hand
