Map Of The World Lyrics - Marillion

Watching the people on the street today she couldn't help but smile 

Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis 

Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit 

This is the day she walks away 

And the lights of the city pushin' a good time 

Asking her out tonight 

But she's saving her money for a better life 

She's got a map of the world 

Pinned up on her wall 

She's got a map of the world 

She's gonna go and see it all 

She's gonna see it all 

Watchin the people on the street today 

Such a lonely sight 

'Swore she could see their dreams go by 

All cars and stars and buy buy buy 

Runnin on empty Runnin to stand still 

No time for their own lives 

Sleepwalking through the danger signs 

And it feels a little scary 

A little runaway 

Letting go of all she's done 

And the lights of the city, well they're all singin' 

Buy some of this, c'mon 

But when you lie to yourself 

You lie to everyone 

She's got a map of the world 

Pinned up on her wall 

She's got a map of the world 

She's gonna go and see it all 

She's gonna see it all 

She'll empty the sand from her shoes 

In Paradise 

Sail out across the bay 

She'll dance under an island sky 

Until the break of day 

She's got a map of the world 

Pinned up on her wall 

It's such a beautiful world 

Glistening and magical 

She's got a map of the world 

Shining away in her mind 

Colouring-in her life 

This is the day she walks 

She's gonna see it all 

She's gonna breathe it all 

Paris London New York 

She's gonna see it all
