I grew up here
All of my life
But I dreamed someday I'd go
Where the blue-eyed girls
And the reggae chars
And the naked rivers flow
I'm not all I thought I'd be
I've always
stayed around
And I've been as far as mercy and ground
I'm
frozen
to the ground
I can't stay here
And I'm scared to leave So kiss me once and then
I'll go to hell I might as well be
Whistling down the wind
Buses at the corner Clock on the wall
Broken down windmill
Ain't no wind at all
And I've yelled and I've cursed If
I stay here I'll rust
I'm stuck like a shipwreck
Out here in the dust
Sky is red
And the world is on fire
And the corn is taller than me
And the dog is tied
To a wagon of rain And the road is wet as the sea
Sometimes the music from a dance
Will carry
me across the plains
The places I've been dreaming of
Dream only of your face
There are places where they never sleep And the circus never ends
So I will take the
Marleybone coach And be whistling down the wind
So I will take the Marleybone coach And be whistling down the wind
