This is a tale of a Northern Soul looking to find his way back home He's coming from that same old road, you know the one your folks don't know I wanna see if you know me, I was born in a rented room My mother didn't get no flowers, dad didn't approve of me, do you?
I'm alive with something inside of me & I don't think I'm coming back So come on, come in inside of me, let's spread it all around
Give me your powder and pills, I want to see if they cure my ills I've no time for love and devotion, no time for old fashioned potion I wanna see if you know me, take a look into my eyes I tell you so many lies and then, I'll let you go into the night
I'm alive with something inside of me & I don't think I'm coming back I'm alive with something inside of me & I can't seem to get it out
I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed, I'm gonna die alone in bed.
This is a tale of a northern soul, looking for his way back home And my friend said, come in side of me, & your speakers are telling the truth Coming through right into your room on a river of sound This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home And if he sees it I know I'll know, and if he sees it I know I'll know And there's fighting on the street below I know there's fighting on the street below Ah but I don't care cause I'm a northern soul And I'm looking for a way back home And I'm looking for a way back home
