world start turning
Singer:rick springfield
i was born in the southern land
a million miles from america
and whatever we wanted was just a matter of choosing
and i was raised in the great white way
just like all those kids in america
and the t.v. taught us to win with no thought of losing
the real town without pity
in the shadow of the city
you don't get too many spins
just another soul lost in america
i was so frustrated and i got so lonely
it almost took a miracle to open my eyes
i've been standing on the beach
i'll never get that low again
we were taught if man believes in
it's only a matter of time
but i walk through the houses of dreams that died
i see the ones still trapped there the ones that tried
but spent the rest of their lives wondering why
and searching for reasons
you've got to know just when to bend
precious little matters in the end
the real town without pity
in the shadow of the city
just another soul lost in america
i was so frustrated and i got so lonely
it almost took a miracle to open up my eyes
i've been standing on the beach
i'll never get that low again
never could settle for where i was
too many places i was trying to be
the times i succeeded and the times i failed
you know that no one will remember but me
i've been standing on the beach
i'll never get that low again.
