Strolling down atlantic avenue
I'm looking for adventure, something new
And there is not a single thing I wouldn't do
I'm looking at the way it used to be
Things are clear that I could never see
And the world is now the way it was meant to be
And I'm twice the man I was
I'm so tired of drivin' down a one way street
I live on the island where three rivers meet
I hated myself for the way I was
But now I can forgive myself because
I'm twice the man I was
Oh so good to be back home again
And I'm so relieved I missed the bitter end
Cos the gratitude on which my life depends
Says I'm twice the man I was
Well I bathed in the fountain of eternal youth
Prayed on the mountain where Jesus soothed
Chastised the devil where the prophets stood
One foot in eden, one in hollywood
I loved all the women that I never should
You know it's all because
I'm twice the man I was
Simple situations used to baffle me
Blind to the colours that I couldn't see
I stared in the face of death a thousand times
Slid down the razor blade of public life
