One Step Closer To Home [Armorique]

Back in ’75, when the kid was on the line
He felt no pain ’cause there was none
He would bend in the wind, take in anything
Like sniffin’ roses and it was alright
Until he fell and cut his hand
He just could not understand
He’d run away, blame pre tense for defence or plain innocence

Say that’s alright, the harder it fights
I’m one step closer to home
The deeper it bites
I’m one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
I can’t give in ’til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I’m ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME

Oh yeah he ran, hitched, rides, travelled light
Left his bags behind, said he’d lost them
He said that’s O.K., I get money and a smile from place to place
And they don’t mind
I’ve had the heads of business men
And I just gave them right back again
I’ve got no need for device, disguise, or for their compromise

Said that’s airtight, the tougher it gets
I’m one step closer to home
The more that I sweat
I’m one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
I can’t give in ’til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I’m ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME

There ain’t no need for this at all
Surely you can help me out
Say, I know a lot of people just like you
Plently to live for and nothing to lose
So tear it all down
Smash it all up
Break it all down and then just
Build it up

And the tougher it gets
And the more that I sweat
And the harder it fights
And the deeper it bites
I’m one step closer to home
And the harder it fights
I’m one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
I can’t give in ’til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I’m ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
