What is home to you, can you tell me
What is home to you, can you tell me
What is home to me
Is it in the things I see
Or where I wish I could be
Is home the people you love or the one you’re part of
Is home just a memory
Is home the child within me
Or where the adult feels free
Is home just a comfort zone
Is it just for things already known
Now who can tell me
What is home
Is there one soul that doesn’t roam
I was only ten when saw its skyline
Knew right there and then, I had to make it mine
I’ve always been drawn to all things that shine
I’ll own this town, I’ll own this town
Devil city I’m attracted to you
You look so pretty and I’m coming through
You’ll soon be hearing of somebody new
Coming to town, coming to town
Lights on
Dream on
Give in to the city
Come in to be free
Dizzy with places concrete crowds and sounds
Just wanted someone to show me around
But all my demons seem to have found
That I am new in town, I’m new in town
Devil city you led them to me
You beam at first then seem so gloomy
Your games are twisted, your tricks are dirty
I’m off this town, I’m off this town
Lights on
Dream on
Give in to the city
Come in to be free
I trusted fate would lead me to coolsville
It turned out I’ll end up stuck in crooksville
Tell me what is in store for me
Roaming soul in shallow dream-city
Lights on
Dream on
Give in to the city
Come in to be free
Lights on
Dream on
Give in to the city
Come in to be free
A few notes an old groove
Is what it takes to bring this mood
And the way it makes me feel
You know it’s like it makes me heal
And I seem to recognize
Each color when I close my eyes
Yet all the pictures that I see
Were taken long time before me
There’s a log hidden backstage
That bring them luck from its old age
It’s a foreign history
Yet the biggest part of me
And a studio called 54
Where people thrive on the dance floor
It’s a different chemistry
And again it’s taking me to this
Place I’ve never been
Or someday in a dream
You know it feels like home
oh yeah
This place I wanna go
I’ve been there long ago
Or was it me?
There’s a canyon full of laurel
Where people sing life is floral
It’s a blurry reverie
From a glitchy memory
Soul train is a long one running
The Troubadour keeps on singing
It’s a distant melody
Yet again it’s taking me to this
Place I’ve never been
Or someday in a dream
You know it feels like home
oh yeah
This place I wanna go
I’ve been there long ago
Or was it me?
And here it comes again
This feeling of belonging
To another time another place
It’s a sweet old pain
One I’ve been longing for
And I don’t want to replace
This place I’ve never been
Or someday in a dream
You know it feels like home
oh yeah
This place I wanna go
I’ve been there long ago
Or was it me?
This place I’ve never been
Or someday in a dream
You know it feels like home
oh yeah
This place I wanna go
I’ve been there long ago
Or was it me?
This place I’ve never been
Or someday in a dream
You know it feels like home
oh yeah
This place I wanna go
I’ve been there long ago
Or was it me?
It’s eight o’clock I’m off the bus
Tired of the day, like the rest of us
My eyes drowning in the concrete
They reach a man, I walk off beat
Blue eyed soul, king of books
Long white hair, king of looks
Got his empire at his feet
Plastic bags, paper cup, tidy ’n neat
There’s a man on the street
And everyday we meet
He’s the most brilliant sir
Yet stuck on a street corner
Hello monsieur how do you do
I wish I could come talk to you
Those books around, what do you read
What’s in those bags, what do you need
What’s your take on the world around us
Do you care when they all make a fuss
Why am I stuck and why don’t I dare
Take a step, give a word, not just stare
There’s a man on the street
And everyday we meet
He’s the most brilliant sir
Yet stuck on a street corner
It’s eight o’clock, no bus today
I took a walk, I’m on my way
I’m gonna speak I’m gonna say
Sir you are grand, for you I pray
And the sun is shining
But the king is missing
There’s a man on the street
And everyday we meet
He’s the most brilliant sir
Yet stuck on a street corner
Crashing waves before this castle of mine
The breeze is carrying salt in the air and in my mind
When I think of the sweet old time
I used to run, play hide and seek
Come from the beach sand on my feet
Dripping sun on pink horizon
Our skins still warm from the laughters and the joys of dream island
Every morning we would fill
Our heads with plans for the afternoon
Why did they have to sink so soon
How can this place just forget me
It will stay strong and I will pass
How can time allow that we
Are bound to die while houses last
Now I am here behind the gate
Feeling empty and weary, I could come in but it’s too late
The waves have crushed the memories
See this child play, there by the tree?
A little girl but she is not me
How can this place just forget me
It will stay strong and I will pass
How can time allow that we
Are bound to die while houses last
What happens to childhood dreams?
Do they come back with the tide?
Have I lost them in rapid streams?
Why is the ocean so wide?
How can this place just forget me
It will stay strong and I will pass
How can time allow that we
Are bound to die while houses last
How can this place just forget me
It will stay strong and I will pass
How can time allow that we
Are bound to die while houses last
How can this place just forget me
It will stay strong and I will pass
How can time allow that we
Are bound to die while houses last
