|
When the kid was on the line |
|
And he felt no pain |
|
'cause there was none |
|
He would bend in the wind |
|
Take in anything |
|
Like sniffin' roses |
|
And it was alright |
|
Until he fell |
|
And cut his hand |
|
He just could not understand |
|
He'd run away |
|
Blame pretense |
|
For defence |
|
Or plain innocence |
|
Say that's alright |
|
The harder it fights |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
The deeper it bites |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
And you can tie my hands |
|
Or whip my back |
|
I can't give in |
|
'til the sky turns black |
|
I may get lost |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
Oh yeah he ran |
|
Hitched, rides |
|
Travelled light |
|
Left his bags behind |
|
Said he'd lost them |
|
He said that's o.k. |
|
I get money and a smile |
|
From place to place |
|
And they don't mind |
|
I've had the heads of business men and i just gave them |
|
Right back again |
|
I've got no need |
|
For device, disguise |
|
Or for their compromise |
|
Said that's airight |
|
The tougher it gets |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
The more that i sweat |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
And you can tie my hands |
|
Or whip my back |
|
I can't give in |
|
'til the sky turns black |
|
I may get lost |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
There ain't no need for this at all, at all |
|
Surely you can help me out |
|
Say, i know a lot of people just like you |
|
Plently to live for and nothing to lose |
|
So tear it all down |
|
Smash it all up |
|
Break it all down and then just |
|
Build it up |
|
Build it up |
|
Ah now build it up |
|
Oh you build it up (build it up) |
|
Ah now build it up (build it up) |
|
Ah build it up |
|
Build it up, build it up, build it up, up, up, up |
|
And the tougher it gets |
|
And the more that i sweat |
|
And the harder it fights |
|
And the deeper it bites |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
And the harder it fights |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
|
And you can tie my hands |
|
Or whip my back |
|
I can't give in |
|
'til the sky turns black |
|
I may get lost |
|
I'm one step closer to home |
