Let's leave the TV set for dumb And walk out in the sun I woke up late this morning And when I woke so hot Turn the TV up louder It can make a big jump to the stars Your eyes, your mouth, your smile Now everywhere in my gaze Maybe you have climbed the mountain Maybe you can eliminate strange days
I'll watch you shuffle through your city streets No doubt about who is on their own No every soul inside your city seems To be on their own, a long long way from home Feels like the zone but nowhere to call home
Today is left for dumb And tomorrow never comes Did you wake up late this morning With a halo around your head? Find yourself on the streets And wishing to climb back in your bed The evening squares are filling up With fallen one-time stars Maybe if you ask them nicely They will give their secrets of survival
I watch you suffer on these city streets No doubt who is in the zone Don't be deceived because everyone you meet Is on their own, a long long way from home People come and go with nowhere to call home
