0:27I people-watch on the way back home
0:31Envious of the glimmer of hope
0:34Gives me a break from feeling alone
0:36Gives me a moment out of the ego
0:39I used to feel so invincible
0:42I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of
0:45Back in the Gasworks screamin' the song
0:48Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart
0:54Oh I feel so dark rememberin'
1:03Oh my heart I feel so dark rememberin'
1:15I people-watch on the way back home
1:18Everybody on the treadmill runnin'
1:21Under the billboards out of the heat
1:24Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
1:28Oh I can't stop runnin'
1:31I see the whole town fall
1:33I people-watch on the way back home
1:36I people-watch on the way back home
1:38Ooh-ooh
1:44Ooh-ooh ooh
1:51I came back home after seven years
1:54Wide awake tracing tracks of her tears
1:57Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
2:00I promised her I'd get her out of the care home
2:03The place was fallin' to bits
2:06Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
2:09The poor nurse was around the clock
2:12And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
2:17But it wasn't hard when you love someone
2:26Oh I stayed all night till you left this life 'cause that's just love
2:39I people-watch on the way back home
2:42Everybody on the treadmill runnin'
2:45Under the billboards out of the heat
2:48Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
2:51Oh I can't stop runnin'
2:54I see the whole town fall
2:57I people-watch on the way back home
2:59I people-watch on the way back home
3:08I people-watch on the way back home
3:11I people-watch on the way back home
3:20I people-watch on the way back home
3:23I people-watch on the way back home
3:26Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance
3:32Katie wakes let's draw initials in the sky
3:38Oh I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times
3:44And I'll hold you in my heart till the day I die
3:49Oh
3:50I people-watch on the way back home
3:53Everybody on the treadmill runnin'
3:56Under the billboards out of the heat
3:59Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
4:03Oh I can't stop runnin'
4:06I see the whole town fall
4:08I people-watch on the way back home
4:11I people-watch on the way back home
4:20I people-watch on the way back home
4:23I people-watch on the way back home
4:32I people-watch on the way back home
4:35I people-watch on the way back home
4:40Ooh-ooh
4:46Ooh-ooh ooh
4:52Ooh-ooh
