Took a little bit of money, tried to find my soul

Standing on the corner of a street where nobody goes

And it looks like nobody cares

Though you never stop peddling wares



Working through the night trying to pay the rent

You'd like to buy a drink but the money's spent

And you think you'll never find your way

You wanna stop sleeping throughout the day



Get on your feet and play on

and I don't wanna be left here all my life

I belong in another place so take me there tonight

I don't wanna be useless all my life

So won't you help me out tonight



Hard to find the way when you leave the track

Hard to get a little respect, lying on your back

And you're counting off of every dream

As your demo gets ripped at the seam



Get on your feet and play on

and I don't wanna be left here all my life

I belong in another place so take me there tonight

I don't wanna be useless all my life

So won't you help me out ...

When you're lying in your bed and all around you there is silence

and the melodies go through your head, it's like an act of violence

Cos there's nothing you can do about it

and no one that you know

But don't let go



and I don't wanna be left here all my life

I belong in another place so take me there tonight

I don't wanna be useless all my life

Won't you help me out, help me out tonight
