Taken Songtext

von The Waifs

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

Walkabout - a very different kind
Walkabout - a very different place and time

I stand underneath street lights
Dreaming of the moon
It is rising in a desert
A life I never know
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 when I found my blood ran from the desert
I knew it was somewhere I had to go
I went to the people there
I lost and found myself on either side
Something deep down just don't feel right
So I walk about this country
And I walk about these streets
To find where my heart lies.
