Come down off your throne and leave your body alone Somebody must change You are the reason I've been waiting all these years Somebody holds the key Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home Still I can't find my way home And I've done nothing wrong But I can't find my way home
