The Only Place To Be
[Intro]
Bah-bah-bah-bah
[Verse 1]
I'll just close my eyes
I'll just catch my breath
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
[Verse 2]
I've got lots of time
My whole life ahead
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
[Chorus]
It's an earth-like world
It's cold and real
With a sun-like star
You can feel
[Verse 3]
I am for the wolf
Pitch-black and yellow eyes
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
[Verse 4]
For the raven arriving
First to get my eyes
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
[Verse 5]
And I'm for the poor sun
Always against the mindless night
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
[Verse 6]
And I'm for the wind
In the pale blue sky
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
[Chorus]
On this earth-like world
It's cold and real
And with a sun-like star
You can feel
[Verse 7]
I'll just close my eyes
I'll just catch my breath
[Refrain]
This is the only place to be
