| I was walking one day through the big lights wondering when the world became so
|
| tired.
|
| Bottles of vodka flashed as the Coca-Cola sign shone like moonlight and I
|
| wondered
|
| when the world beame so wired. |
| Even the clearing of the streets,
|
| it was all tiled and in the corner stood a tree in a cage. |
| And in the screen
|
| on the side of a skyscrpaer stood a war child nestled in amongts the stocks,
|
| the shares and the sports scores of the day.
|
| I thought, don’t leave your life too long,
|
| it’s gone before it’s done if you hide away.
|
| I was travelling one day to find a small town, for I’d hear that it was far
|
| enough away.
|
| Arrived late in the night and there was no sound. |
| I looked forward to the
|
| breaking of the day.
|
| With the sunrise I headed for the ocean, for its where I find the cleanest air
|
| to brewath.
|
| Every road down a factory had stolen and the smoke it billowed out and blocked
|
| the sea.
|
| I thought, don’t leave your life too long,
|
| it’s gone before its done if you hide away.
|
| I thought, don’t leave your life too long,
|
| it’s gone before its done if you hide away.
|
| I was travelling one day down in Mexico,
|
| in towns where peoiploe purely work to eat.
|
| There’s a shine in the eyes of those that let go,
|
| and that shine was like a song that sang to me.
|
| It said, don’t leave your life too long,
|
| it’s gone before its done if you hide away.
|
| I thought, don’t leave your life too long,
|
| it’s gone before its done if you hide away. |
