lyrics

all my money's running out
my pockets all are empty
give the girls a twist and shout

i got nothing left to sell
sold my body all to science
sold my soul on down to hell

i don't know where i am going
you may have me by the tail
i have got you by the throat

keep your tongue up in your mouth
leave your keys locked in your car
all the trains keep running south

my directions blew away
like some seashells on the shore
leaves swept on november days

i don't know where i am going
i spent too much time from shore
to feel the sea beneath my boat

you know right where you belong
and i keep going out my mind
trying hard to turn my lightbulb on

you kids
keep your good shoes on

i don't know where i am going
you may have me by the tail
i have got you by the throat

i don't know where i am going
i spent too much time from shore
to feel the sea beneath my boat

and you know right where you belong

i'm afraid i don't know how
to keep my eyes on the horizon but enjoy the moment now
i let my heart out of its cage
try to find a way back home if home is still a place
