Wide eyed girl she's dancing across the room The band are watching her, their eyes too drunk to zoom So come sit down with me, and let's watch the show The jokers in the street all following the flow
The years are closing in, the lines are wearing thin Everybody's found their place, but you have yet to begin
This is the life you got, that you're always gonna live These are the shoes you've realised you'll never fill So put on that record now, turn it up and close your eyes If there's somewhere in this world you wanna be The music takes you there, eventually
Wide eyed girl she's laughing in the money shot She looks so happy in every picture that I've got In love with music, she's a purebred fan She's so alive as she is swaying to the band And now she's in me, she's forever by my side Come on let me hold you close tonight
This is the life you got that you're always gonna live These are the shoes you've realised you'll never fill So put on that record now, turn it up and close your eyes You don't know where you're heading, but you'll see That the music takes you there, eventually
Gonna take you there
There's nothing to it, you just head straight on through it Everybody's waiting, waiting there for you Waiting there for you
This is the life you got that you're always gonna live These are the shoes you've realised you'll never fill So put on that record now, turn it up and close your eyes If there's somewhere else you wish that you could be The music's gonna take you there And all the pieces fit somewhere The music takes you there eventually
