Steve Rothery - Map Of The World lyrics

Watching the people on the street today she couldn't help but smile Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit This is the day she walks away And the lights of the city pushin' a good time Asking her out tonight But she's saving her money for a better life She's got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall She's got a map of the world She's gonna go and see it all She's gonna see it all Watchin the people on the street today Such a lonely sight 'swore she could see their dreams go by All cars and stars and buy buy buy Runnin on empty runnin to stand still No time for their own lives Sleepwalking through the danger signs And it feels a little scary A little runaway Letting go of all she's done And the lights of the city, well they're all singin' Buy some of this, cmon But when you lie to yourself You lie to everyone She's got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall She's got a map of the world She's gonna go and see it all She's gonna see it all She'll empty the sand from her shoes In paradise Sail out across the bay She'll dance under an island sky Until the break of day She's got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall It's such a beautiful world Glistening and magical She's got a map of the world Shining away in her mind Colouring-in her life This is the day she walks She's gonna see it all She's gonna breathe it all Paris london new york She's gonna see it all
