A full circle of degrees
Right, left, left
And my eyes adjust to see
Right, left, left
That the world, oh -ho, oh -ho, oh -ho
Is not my world
You see the year was 24
Right, left, left
Not a single face I knew
Right, left
And my girl, oh -ho, oh -ho, oh -ho
Is not my girl
Out in the street
Things were not the same
And I look to the top
Past the vacant faces
And I was past the place
I once called my home
Looking for a sign
Looking for a way
To, to, to, to, to, to get up there
And a quest across the sea
Right, left, left
For a place I long to be
Right, left, left
In a town, a home, a home,
a home along the mine
Out in the street,
things were not the same
And I walked through the town,
past the vacant faces
And I walked past a place
I once called my home
Looking for a sign,
looking for a way
To, to, to, to, to, to get away from
Oh, let her be here, let her be safe,
let her ask for all that I'm longing for me,
for me
And I walked through the town
Past the vacant faces
And I walked past a place
I once called my own
And I walked through the town
Past the vacant faces
And I will, to pass the place
I once called my own
Looking for a sign, looking for a way
To, to, to, to, to, to get up, up
To get up, up you
