lyrics

Sometimes I just get tired of all this moving around
Want to plant my feet, plant my feet down on the ground
Want to stop my yearning
Want to stop my restlessness
But how do I do it, well that is anyone's guess

My feet are aching, my bones do creak
My eyes are burning and my soul feels weak
Want to lock myself in and dim the lights
Let the rest of humanity fight its fights

This world has its wonders from here to Rome
But I've seen enough, I’m going home
You can have them all, trudge through the loam
But I've had my fill, I’m going home

Everyday on the subway people they push and shove
Where is their heart and soul, where is the love
People shout on their cellphones
They seem to have no shame
They know no boundaries like a picture with no frame

I am no better but at least I don't inflict
All my useless thoughts and the useless bones I've picked
I would rather retire, hole up with a book in bed
Than to face this world, this land of the walking dead

If I could be with anyone I'd be with me
Don't mean to seem selfish just want to be free
Don't like to party, don't like to be sociable
Can't take the banter, can't take the bull
I dig the music inside my soul
I don't hear it on the radio
I like the way I think, I like my company
I don't rip myself up and I don't lie to me
