Will You Show Me Where To Go?
Told the sandman not to bother me,
"˜Cos I'm so restless tonight.
Found a payphone, called myself a cab,
The city streets feel all right.
Mister Weatherman, stop lying to me,
You say sun and there's rain.
Told the doctor my head is hurting me,
Gave me pills for the pain.
And I'm oblivious to all the sights and the sounds,
And I'm coming round.
Hey newscaster, what's happened today?
Another famine or war?
I'm sure I've seen her before.
Stray puppy looks to me for food,
I can't feed you tonight.
I ignored it as it limped away.
I guess it'll be all right.
And I'm becoming conscious of what's going down,
And I'm coming round.
Tell me stranger, do you know me?
Will you show me where to go?
Tell me newfound friend, do you love me?
You're miles above me, what a show!
Told the driver not to question me,
Not in the mood for small talk.
We sat silent, hummed to the radio,
I decided to walk.
Asked the dark clouds not to rain on me,
But they ignored my plea,
It had to happen to me.
And I'm the only person in this lonely town,
And I'm coming round.
Tell me stranger, do you know me?
Will you show me where to go?
Tell me newfound friend, do you love me?
You're miles above me, what a show!
Mister Policeman, what's the hour please?
Just left quarter past three.
It's raining faster and getting colder,
And I can't find my key.
Front porch doormat, oh how you welcome me!
A handshake metaphor,
Hello TV. What have you got for me?
I'm sure I've seen this before.
And I'm the saddest person that I know right now.
But I'm coming round.
Tell me stranger, do you know me?
Will you show me where to go?
Tell me newfound friend, do you love me?
You're miles above me, what a show!
