Life Down Here on Earth Songtext
von Kevin Welch

I′m gonna come to your window, knock upon your pane
Stand back in the moonlight and sing your name
Turn your television off, it's just showbiz
Step out here with me, where the real show is
It′s a great big world, life down here on earth

Let me introduce you to my carnival of friends
They come from all four corners, on all four winds
Thieves up in the castle, kings out in the rain
Saints down in the trenches, they're fighting for a change
And it's a great big world, life down here on earth


Baby take a mad dash with me, we′re gonna give it all we′re worth
Come down from your tower, there's so much here to see
Life down here, life down here on earth

We got headlights on the highway, stars up in the sky
Got a sparkle in my eyes, don′t you want to know why?
I killed a lot of time, that was my greatest sin
But I forgave myself, and I'm alive again
And it′s a big old world, life down here on earth

There's gonna be two dates on your tombstone, all your friends will read ′em
But all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em
Yes it′s a great big world, life down here on earth
Well it′s a big old world, life down here on earth
