Alarm - One Step Closer To Home lyrics

rate me

Well, back in '75<br />

When the kid was on the line<br />

And he felt no pain<br />

'Cause there was none<br />

He would bend in the wind<br />

Take in anything<br />

Like sniffin' roses<br />

And it was alright<br />

Until he fell<br />

And cut his hand<br />

He just could not understand<br />

He'd run away<br />

Blame pretense<br />

For defence<br />

Or plain innocence<br />

<br />

Say that's alright<br />

The harder it fights<br />

I'm one step closer to home<br />

The deeper it bites<br />

I'm one step closer to home<br />

And you can tie my hands<br />

Or whip my back<br />

I can't give in<br />

'Til the sky turns black<br />

I may get lost<br />

<br />

I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME<br />

<br />

Oh yeah he ran<br />

Hitched, rides<br />

Travelled light<br />

Left his bags behind<br />

Said he'd lost them<br />

He said that's O.K.<br />

I get money and a smile<br />

From place to place<br />

And they don't mind<br />

I've had the heads of business men and I just gave them<br />

Right back again<br />

I've got no need<br />

For device, disguise<br />

Or for their compromise<br />

<br />

Said that's airight<br />

<br />

The tougher it gets<br />

I'm one step closer to home<br />

The more that I sweat<br />

I'm one step closer to home<br />

And you can tie my hands<br />

Or whip my back<br />

I can't give in<br />

'Til the sky turns black<br />

I may get lost<br />

I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME<br />

<br />

There ain't no need for this at all, at all<br />

Surely you can help me out<br />

Say, I know a lot of people just like you<br />

Plently to live for and nothing to lose<br />

So tear it all down<br />

Smash it all up<br />

Break it all down and then just <br />

<br />

Build it up<br />

<br />

Build it up<br />

Ah now build it up<br />

Oh you build it up (Build it up)<br />

Ah now build it up (Build it up)<br />

Ah build it up<br />

Build it up, Build it up, Build it up, up, up, up<br />

<br />

And the tougher it gets<br />

And the more that I sweat<br />

And the harder it fights<br />

And the deeper it bites<br />

I'm one step closer to home<br />

And the harder it fights<br />

I'm one step closer to home<br />

And you can tie my hands<br />

Or whip my back<br />

I can't give in<br />

'Til the sky turns black<br />

I may get lost<br />

I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
