You've been standin' on the corner for a thousand nights   Ifs the slowest corner known to man   Watchin' strange faces passin' 'neath the lights    With a bottle wavin' in your hand   You got just enough money for some nothin' to go    It ain't exactly what you planned    So lonesome that you can't even say hello    And no one seems to understand      Chorus   So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd    The ones that only fit where they're not allowed    Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue    travelin' light    With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through    A hole in your soul where the wind blows through      You wandered away from your childhood home    Nobody cared to trace    the tracks you laid    You traveled by night    and you traveled alone    Came to rest at a penny arcade    Well, the last shots over    on a Saturday night You wake up in the beam    of a cop's flashlight   He asks you who you are as if you    knew or you cared   He asks you where you live    and you say nowhere      Chorus      I don't know where I got it    but, I got it the same    It's a feelin' that'll rip you apart    It follows me around    like a part of my name    Like I'm born with a time bomb    instead of a heart      Chorus
