Around Every Corner ©1999 The Away Team
She drags herself into another dawn
And wonders why she's livin' why she must go on..
Her shoes are Holy like the City Bus
and she sits in its pews and confesses to us.
Mostly we stumble, sometimes we fall
short of our dreams as we're nearin' it all, but
Around every corner, another street sign
Tellin' me to listen, to wake up my mind
Around every corner, another street sign
I think of you often I keep you in mind..
The priest gets on and he paid his fare
and he crosses himself as he whispers a prayer
To the girl in the front, but she's not really there
and the bus driver too, does anybody care?
Mostly we stumble, sometimes we fall
Does life really start at the end of it all, but
Around every corner, another street sign
Tellin' me to listen, to wake up my mind
Around every corner, another street sign
I think of you often, I keep you in mind...
...I'll be with you in your dreams tonite
We're walkin' through the liquid light......
Then came the woman who would not sit down and
she crossed all the people with the Book she had found
Missed her connection to the human race.
I think she's an alien from outer space. . .
Revelations all around us,
Well we paid our fare to get on this bus
Revelations all around us
Oh it don't seem fair we're all on this bus . . .
But around every corner another stret sign
Tellin' me to listen, to wake up my mind.....
