The world is turnin',
    I hope it don't turn away,
The world is turnin',
    I hope it don't turn away.
All my pictures are fallin'
    from the wall where
        I placed them yesterday.
The world is turnin',
    I hope it don't turn away.

I need a crowd of people,
    but I can't face them
        day to day,
I need a crowd of people,
    but I can't face them
        day to day.
Though my problems
    are meaningless,
        that don't make them
            go away.
I need a crowd of people,
    but I can't face them
        day to day.

I went to the radio interview,
    but I ended up alone
        at the microphone,

Now I'm livin'
    out here on the beach,
        but those seagulls are
            still out of reach.
I went to the radio interview,
    but I ended up alone
        at the microphone.

Get out of town,
    think I'll get out of town,
Get out of town,
    think I'll get out of town.
I head for the sticks
    with my bus and friends,
I follow the road,
    though I don't know
        where it ends.
Get out of town, get out of town,
    think I'll get out of town.

'Cause the world is turnin',
    I don't want to
        see it turn away.
