lyrics

I wanna be alone
Alone with my thoughts
Wanna be alone at home,
alone with my thoughts
Smoking big cigars
Looking like a bum
I wanna be alone at home,
Alone with my thoughts

I wanna be alone
Alone with my thoughts
Wanna be alone at home,
alone with my thoughts
Playing my guitar
Feeding all my cats
I wanna be alone at home,
Alone with my thoughts

Come with me to the sugar tree
It’s a happy place where sugar’s free
Come with me to the sugar tree
Don’t wanna be alone. Oh!
Come with me to the sugar tree
It’s a happy place where sugar’s free
Come with me to the sugar tree
It’s a happy place, c’mon !!!

Are you really alone?
(Arthur’s maze)
Get your stuff off my lawn
You’re not welcome anymore
Leave me the scotch
So you say you’re alone
You’re just a spoiled boy
Take your charts and your songs
You’re not welcome anymore
(Arthur’s maze)

I don’t know if you heard me
But there is something you must know
I will tell you once
And I will tell you twice
I don’t want you on my block

‘Cause I have been my whole life here
Standing on this corner alone
I’m the one who rules here
I don’t want your nose near
I don’t want you on my block
(I don’t want you on my block!)

Like everybody here you are heating your anger
With your mobile phone you are cooking your balls
And all your moves and your violent reactions
Are just a cause of what you’re living up to

And you may say you are doin’ OK
But you don’t know what is coming up next
You better run to preserve your own health
You’ll find a place to be safe from the rain

Well, I don’t know where you come from
And I don’t know who you are
But I will tell you once and I may tell you twice that
I don’t want you on my block

Cause I don’t know why you’re here
And I don’t care if you’re alone
I’m the one who rules here
I don’t want your nose near
I don’t want you on my block
(I don’t want you on my block)

(No! No! No!)


As I walk out of the city
I can see the people coming in
How wonderful to watch all those faces
Full of hope

Here comes Arthur Maze
Smiling on a rainy day
and he’s walking straight to you
so, come on, don’t be a shy boy
open up your eyes
focus your mind
show your white teeth
give a smile to Arthur Maze!

Sure you’re gonna find a better place
(maze, maze, Arthurs maze!)
