[Verse 1]
Down that road
There's a man who's lived his whole life inside a rubber shoe
He doesn't know what to do
And young girls spend their life calling him outside with a bag of coins
He doesn't know what to do
When the sun shines like bu*tercup, he laces up his tiny home
He makes for a new life in the city
[Chorus]
Forgetting the black skies
Open your heart, show us who you are
Forgetting the black skies
Open your heart, show us who you are
[Verse 2]
Oh and I, I waste
So much time signing dotted lines in the bank each day
Oh yes I do, silly me
And I see young men waste their youth acting all uncouth in the back of the bar
Somewhere deep down in the city
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And when the policeman comes for him
I hope he's got his piece of paper
So he can prove that he is who he is
He's alive and nobody could say different
It'd be a shame if you were a no-one
And you had to be sent back to nowhere
To nowhere, to nowhere
[Outro]
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na (x4)
For I was
And I was
And oh...
