Alarm The One Step Closer To Home Lyrics

One Step Closer To Home Lyrics

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
