Took a little bit of money, tried to find my soul
Standing on the corner of a street where nobody goes
And it looks like nobody cares
Though you never stop peddling wares

Working through the night trying to pay the rent
You'd like to buy a drink but the money's spent
And you think you'll never find your way
You wanna stop sleeping throughout the day

Get on your feet and play on
and I don't wanna be left here all my life
I belong in another place so take me there tonight
I don't wanna be useless all my life
So won't you help me out tonight

Hard to find the way when you leave the track
Hard to get a little respect, lying on your back
And you're counting off of every dream
As your demo gets ripped at the seam

Get on your feet and play on
and I don't wanna be left here all my life
I belong in another place so take me there tonight
I don't wanna be useless all my life
So won't you help me out
When you're lying in your bed and all around you there is silence
and the melodies go through your head, it's like an act of violence
Cos there's nothing you can do about it
and no one that you know
But don't let go

and I don't wanna be left here all my life
I belong in another place so take me there tonight
I don't wanna be useless all my life
Won't you help me out, help me out tonight
