Lyrics

World is turnin'

I hope it don't turn away

World is turnin'

I hope it don't turn away

All my pictures are fallin'

From the wall where I placed them yesterday

World is turnin'

I hope it don't turn away

I need a crowd of people

But I can't face them day to day

I need a crowd of people

But I can't face them day to day

Though my problems are meaningless

That don't make them go away

I need a crowd of people

But I can't face them day to day

I went to the radio interview

But I ended up alone at the microphone

I went to the radio interview

But I ended up alone at the microphone

Now I'm livin' out here on the beach

But those seagulls are still out of reach

I went to the radio interview

But I ended up alone at the microphone

Get out of town

Think I'll get out of town

Get out of town

Think I'll get out of town

I head for the sticks with my bus and friends

I follow the road, though I don't know where it ends

Get out of town, get out of town

Think I'll get out of town

'Cause the world is turnin'

I don't want to see it turn away
