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

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
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

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
