Half a Mile Away Songtext
von Billy Joel

Oh-huh
Oh
Ooh

Little geo is a friend of mine
We get some money and we buy a cheap wi-ine
Sit on the corner and have a holiday
Hide the bottle when the cop goes by
Talk about women and lie, lie, lie
Oh, my other world is just a half a mile away
Ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooh-ooh
Ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooh-ooh


Wait for mama to turn out the light
Crawl on the roof and then I hit the ni-i-ight
I should be sleeping but tonight I just can′t stay
I've given everybody so much time
Now I need a moment that′s mi-i-ine
Oh my other world is just a half a mile away
Ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooh-ooh

Ooo-ooh
It's just a half a mile away
Ooo-ooh
It's just a half a mile away
Ooo-ooh, yeah
It′s just a half a mile away

Angelina save a place for me
I′ve been livin' someone else′s life and now I've got to be free
Turn your transistor on and let the music play
I try to keep the family satisfied
But there′s gotta be more to life than just try, try, try
Oh my other world is only half a mile away
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do


Ooo-ooh
It's just a half a mile away
Ooo-ooh
It′s just a half a mile away
Ooo-ooh, yeah
It's just a half a mile away

I've given everybody so much time
Now I need a moment that′s mi-i-ine
Oh my other world is just a half a mile away

(Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
(It′s just a, it's just a half a mile away)
Don′t you know it's just a half a mile away
(It′s just a half a mile away)
Just, just, just, just, just half a mile away
(It's just a half a mile away) yeah!
Don′t you understand it's just a half a mile away
(It's just a, it′s just a half a mile away)
Just, just, just, just, just
Just, just, just, just
Just a half a mile away
(It′s just a half a mile away)
Everyone got to know
It's just a half a mile away
(It′s just a half a mile away)
Yeah!
Just! Half! Mile away
(It's just a half a mile away)
