night-time i stage my street show
love for the money that's my cash flow
no I don't get scared when I walk alone
I have been on this beat enough to know
that when shit happens it is just your turn
so you deal with it and it happens everyday
I don't know quite where I belong
so when they come I freely give myself away
walkabout - a very different kind
walkabout - a very different place and time
I stand underneath street lights dreaming of the moon
it is rising in a desert a life I never know
taken away and now I'm walking by myself
when you grow up in institutions
you make your friends but love you never know
so when I found my blood ran from the desert
I knew it was somewhere I had to go
I went to the people there
I lost and found myself on either side
something deep down just don't feel right
so I walk about this country
and I walk about these streets to find where my heart lies.
