On The Beach
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world is turnin'
I hope it don't turn away
The world is turnin'
I hope it don't turn away
All my pictures are fallin'
From the wall where
I placed them yesterday
The world is turnin'
I hope it don't turn away
I need a crowd of people
But I can't face them
Day to day
I need a crowd of people
But I can't face them
Day to day
Though my problems
Are meaningless
That don't make them
Go away
I need a crowd of people
But I can't face them
Day to day
I went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone
At the microphone
I went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone
At the microphone
Now I'm livin'
Out here on the beach
But those seagulls are
Still out of reach
I went to the radio interview
But I ended up alone
At the microphone
Get out of town
Think I'll get out of town
Get out of town
Think I'll get out of town
I head for the sticks
With my bus and friends
I follow the road
Though I don't know
Where it ends
Get out of town, get out of town
Think I'll get out of town
'Cause the world is turnin'
I don't want to
See it turn away
