I wrote this tune way before I'd ever heard of www.moveon.org...honest!
lyrics
This alley used to be a market
Anything you wanted, you could probably find it
But now look around
Pretty girl does her shopping in her bare feet
Run around the corner for a chance at a chance meet
Your eyes meet, your heart beats but now you’re alone
You on your own, no callin’ home, no telephone
No home sweet home, no mega phone, no radio
No comfort zone, got vertigo, no where to go
Why can’t we move on
Broken glass where you used to get your coffee
Radio blastin’ from the taxie
A heartbeat, pumping’ out a backbeat, givin’ rhythm to the whole street
Now you feel the eyes upon you
Just you two no one to warn you
You’re alone here, you’re a foreigner
No radio, no callin’ home, no telephone
Nowhere to go no mega phone, you on your own
No comfort zone, got vertigo, no home sweet home
Why can’t we move on
