walking in the shadows of mankind 
drinking from the dust in the streets / living through the 
seasons having 1000 reasons 
trying to make ends meet flipping coins and lights in september 
dancing with the leaves of july 
 [bad word] pavements seem 
to hold resentments 
against me as time’s flying by
gotta get home gotta get home in december 
when the lights are shining bright 
gotta get back to what 
i remember / and then everything’s alright 
tell my mum [bad word] home in december
i have seen the eiffel tour in paris 
and i have seen the squares of new york 
i been sleeping next 
to towers singing songs for hours 
 [bad word] in being a dork 
playing with the whales in the 
ocean climbing on a mountain with blue eyes 
and under porches and bridges i’ve learned that all the 
riches are waiting for me in disguise
i want to go back i need to go back home 
my friends are waiting for me [bad word] back home 
and everybody’s there and we have things to share 
and the family prayer something is in the wind and i 
know for sure 
deep down in the core now it’s time to go 
to my loved ones i need to go back home
