THE ALARM - ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME lyrics

rate me

Well, back in '75

When the kid was on the line

And he felt no pain

'Cause there was none

He would bend in the wind

Take in anything

Like sniffin' roses

And it was alright

Until he fell

And cut his hand

He just could not understand

He'd run away

Blame pretense

For defence

Or plain innocence

Say that's alright

The harder it fights

I'm one step closer to home

The deeper it bites

I'm one step closer to home

And you can tie my hands

Or whip my back

I can't give in

'Til the sky turns black

I may get lost

I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME

Oh yeah he ran

Hitched, rides

Travelled light

Left his bags behind

Said he'd lost them

He said that's O.K.

I get money and a smile

From place to place

And they don't mind

I've had the heads of business men and I just gave them

Right back again

I've got no need

For device, disguise

Or for their compromise

Said that's airight

The tougher it gets

I'm one step closer to home

The more that I sweat

I'm one step closer to home

And you can tie my hands

Or whip my back

I can't give in

'Til the sky turns black

I may get lost

I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME

There ain't no need for this at all, at all

Surely you can help me out

Say, I know a lot of people just like you

Plently to live for and nothing to lose

So tear it all down

Smash it all up

Break it all down and then just

Build it up

Build it up

Ah now build it up

Oh you build it up (Build it up)

Ah now build it up (Build it up)

Ah build it up

Build it up, Build it up, Build it up, up, up, up

And the tougher it gets

And the more that I sweat

And the harder it fights

And the deeper it bites

I'm one step closer to home

And the harder it fights

I'm one step closer to home

And you can tie my hands

Or whip my back

I can't give in

'Til the sky turns black

I may get lost

I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
