Night-time, I stage my street show
Yeah, love for money, that’s my cash flow
No I don’t get scared when I walk alone
’Cause I have been on this beat enough to know
That when shit happens it is just your turn
And you deal with it
And it happens everyday (yeah it happens)
I don’t know quite where I belong
So when they come
I freely give myself away

Yeah I walk about
A very different kind of walkabout
A very different place and time

And I stand under street lights
Dreaming of a moon and it is rising in a desert
A life I never knew
Taken away
Taken away
And now I’m walking by myself
Taken away
Taken away
And now I’m walking by myself

When you grow up in institutions
You make your friends, but love you never know
So it was when I found my blood ran from the desert
Yeah, then I knew it was somewhere I had to go
So I went down to the people there
I lost and found myself on either side
Something deep down just don’t feel right
’Cause I walk about this country
And I walk about these streets to find where my heart lies
A very different kind of walkabout
A very different place and time
