The closer I get, the further I am
And that leaves me here
In the middle of nowhere
Ain’t got no kin, ain’t got no kith
Like being lost in a crowd in Times Square
It don't matter where I go
I don't where I'm going
It don't matter where I am
I have no way of knowing
In the map of the human heart
In the map of the human heart
I scale the heights, tumble into the depths
But then I wind up broke down, battered and beaten
Looking for relief
Looking for a little loving
Someone who won’t treat me like a cretin
Maybe I will go to Paris
Maybe I will go to Rome
I'll go anywhere
If can call it my home
Ain’t much to look at, ain’t all the smart
Don’t got anything you would find appealing
But that ain't stopped me
It hasn’t kept me down
I’m set to bust right through the ceiling
