No good, can't speak
Wound up, no sleep
Sky diver, insider
Slip rope, stunt flyer

Wounded lover, got no time on hand

Burn that cycle
Thrill freak, Uncle Sam
All for business, no, you understand?
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand

Dietrich movies, close up boogies
Kissing cunt in Cannes
Protest music, million dollar sad

I got no tactics, got no time on hand

Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle
Sinking in the sand
Fade out freedom, stand that heat on
Watch that hat in black

Finger twitching, got no time on hand

All right, mama
 
 

TrackTalk

(T)here's a lot of songs (on Exile) that are really, like, not songs at all. Like Casino Boogie. They're really nicely played, but there's no hooks in them and there's no memorable lyrics.

- Mick Jagger
