Took a little bit of money, tried to find my soul 
Standing on the corner of a street where nobody goes 
And it looks like nobody cares 
Though you never stop peddling wares 
 
Working through the night trying to pay the rent 
You'd like to buy a drink but the money's spent 
And you think you'll never find your way 
You wanna stop sleeping throughout the day 
 
Get on your feet and play on 
and I don't wanna be left here all my life 
I belong in another place so take me there tonight 
I don't wanna be useless all my life 
So won't you help me out tonight 
 
Hard to find the way when you leave the track 
Hard to get a little respect, lying on your back 
And you're counting off of every dream 
As your demo gets ripped at the seam 
 
Get on your feet and play on 
and I don't wanna be left here all my life 
I belong in another place so take me there tonight 
I don't wanna be useless all my life 
So won't you help me out ... 
When you're lying in your bed and all around you there is silence 
and the melodies go through your head, it's like an act of violence 
Cos there's nothing you can do about it 
and no one that you know 
But don't let go 
 
and I don't wanna be left here all my life 
I belong in another place so take me there tonight 
I don't wanna be useless all my life 
Won't you help me out, help me out tonight
