Get Away > The Wanderer

Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?
Was it him who said that life is just a song?
I don’t know what will keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love that’s all in the dirt

But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain’t worth it, no no
She ain’t worth nothing I got
Ah no way
Ah not I
Get away to get up

Was it you who said my life is over?
Baby it was over from the bitter start
Did you say that I won’t be around downtown tomorrow?
Ah yes I will with a hardened heart

But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain’t worth it, no no
She ain’t worth nothing I got
Ah no no
Ah no way
Yeah yeah yeah
She can have anything she wants
But she really doesn’t know about the way she taunts
It’s tearing me apart
It’s tearing me apart
Oh oh oh
I was walking yesterday and night
In a park and I saw a little girl
Standing on a corner of the world
I said, Little girl, what you doing in the world?
She looked up at me as if I was a girl
And I said, The wind’s been blowing hard
For about a thousand years at a time
But its time to start behave, as I said
Get away to get up, get away to get up, get away
Something I said, way oh

Did you mean, something mean
When you said, that my soul was clean?
Well I know, all the stories that I’ve been told
Are nothing but a product sold
I was walking last night
I was thinking kind of funky
I was ready to fight
Feeling kind of frisky
Drank a pint of whiskey
Never did I know, what?
That it would kiss me
Across the mouth
I went down south
My head started spinning like a whirly mouth
And I said, Hey girl, gotta run away
Gotta act something, something gotta say
And I said, Hey something, don’t you know nothing?
Don’t you see the world that is coming to a girl?
And I said, I don’t want to say nothing else except
Get away to get up, get away to get up, get away to get up
It’s like something you said, way oh
