Place Lyrics - The Essential Bruce Hornsby - Bruce Hornsby

I'm on a long sojourn 

I'm sitting here shedding my skin 

Don't know about inside, ugly on the outside 

They're all messing with me for the shape I'm in 

I'm looking for a clean slate 

Just need to find a new mind state 

Hey, let's go looking for squirrels 

Let's find something to do 

I think she's shooting it right at you 

Look down I said right at you 

And the hail falls hard 

And the wind whips my face 

And I'm a long, long way from anywhere real safe 

And the storm clouds are flying high 

Mud all over my face 

And I'm a long, long way from my resting place 

Hey, let's duck down this side street 

Maybe no, nobody else will see 

Everybody sees us as big fat bastards 

But I can just se you looking at me 

Ever feel like a side-show attraction 

Ever feel like a walking infraction 

Some people call me Tarzan in my big, big sweats 

Don't know just what they mean 

Maybe not good, real bad I bet 

And the hail falls hard 

And the wind whips my face 

And I'm a long, long way from some sheltered space 

And the storm clouds are flying high 

Mud all over my face 

And I'm a long, long way from my resting place 

I'm looking for a clean slate 

Just need to find a new way, way to relate 

You ever feel like a street walker 

I get by being a funny talker 

All those funny jokes sting, so keep walking 

And the hail falls hard 

And the wind whips my face 

And I'm a long, long way from some sheltered space 

And the storm clouds are flying high 

Mud all over my face 

And I'm a long, long way from my resting place
