Felt this hunger deep inside me,
And I knew I had to go,
Left my friends and my companions,
Everyone I ever knew
Put the old ways far behind me,
Lost their meaning long ago.

‍

People tell me that I’m crazy –
‘You got a good thing’, here to stay!
Ain’t no point to look for trouble
‘Cos trouble finds you anyway!’
Try to tell them but it’s useless.
I don’t know no other way

‍

Chorus

‍

And I smell trouble,
Trouble round the bend
Said I smell trouble,
Trouble round the bend
Got a devil deep inside
Making sure that it ain’t ever gonna end –
Guess I’ll need you here beside me
‘Cos baby, you’re my only friend.

‍

Got some money in my pocket,
Got my lady by my side –
There’ll be times when I get lonesome
For all the good friends that I had
But the Man says ‘keep on moving’
I got to keep him satisfied.

‍

Chorus

‍

But I smell trouble
Trouble up ahead
I smell trouble
Trouble up ahead
In my dream the man he told me
‘You won’t stop running ’till you’re dead
But all you need is what’s inside you
You’ve got to find it in your head
Said all you need is what’s inside you
It’s lying sleeping in your head
