we all live on the edge of town
where we all live ain’t a soul around
people start a-comin’, all we do is just a-grin
said we gotta move out cause the city’s movin’ in
I said we gotta move out cause the city’s movin’ in
tell me who ya know, and I’ll tell ya who too
go see my friend and he’ll set you free
tell me what you need and maybe I can go too
no one knows the way but maybe me
nobody goes there, nobody shows where
nobody knows where you can find me
good morning glory, halleluh to ya
what is the story and what’s been goin’ through ya?
livin’ like a king off the fat of the land
workin’ like a dog in a rock n’ roll band
we’re movin’ — we’re gettin’ out
we’re movin’ — without a doubt
we’re movin’ — we’re goin’ far
we’re movin’ — oh yes we are

level with God and you’re in tune with the universe
talk with yourself and you’ll hear what you wanna know
gotta rise above cause below it’s only gettin’ worse
life in time will take you where you wanna go, where you wanna go,
x’s a bunch
baby catch ya round, I don’t know where I’m goin’
