Texty: Hormonauts (The). Hormonized. Top Of The World.

Singin? my heart out in the evening rain,
An all-weather seranade on Ashton Lane,
Made enough money for a ticket on a southbound train,

A second-hand guitar and a stolen rucksack,
All I thought I needed was all I could pack,
I said ?see you later? even though I knew I wasn?t comin? back.


[chorus]

So if I sing you a Jimmy Cagney quote,
Sing it through my teeth with a lump in my throat,
I hope you know,
That even though,
I live a thousand miles from home,
I?m on top of the world.

I might be livin? in a bus but it?s by the sea,
And when the sun beats down it?s over thirty degrees,
There ain?t a single day when I don?t look about and think ?lucky me?.

I drive a beat-up van and not a fast sports car,
?Cause I spent my money on a flashy guitar,
I?ve come a long way even though I had to go this far.
