I pulled in to Nazareth
Was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need someplace
Where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand
NO was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me

"They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall"
