Some people say you got a psychedelic presence Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense Down these city streets I see you comin' From afar and I know In this world ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Nobody sings like Mary Sue Bell Nobody prays like Willie Mac Tell Nobody walks a mile in my stolen shoes like I do In this world ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world I still miss my lonesome lover And I can't find no single other To take his empty place In my heart of hearts, I told him In this world ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world The ghost of Shakespeare's on the street Corduroy hat layin' at his feet Howlin' in the harp These dirty city blues fallin' hard In this world ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Zora Neale Hurston told her story And they kicked her out of New York city Just like Jesus Christ in Gallilee, like I said In this world ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Some people say I got a psychedelic presence Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense Down these city streets I see you comin' From afar and I know Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world Ain't nobody's got the shine Like you got to shine in this world
