Around the World Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Go ahead and throw your punches
I can take whatever you′ve got to give
Because I've cheated death so many times
Even when I didn′t want to live
So come down from your alter
And then baby I'll come down from my throne
Yeah I had to travel around the world
Just to fi nd my way home
I went walkin' with a bedlamite
Near the Champs-Elysees in Paris France
I bedded down with a starlet
Even when I didn′t think I stood a chance
So come down from your alter
And then maybe I′ll come down from my throne
Yeah I had to travel around the world
Just to fi nd my way home


I've been in books I′ve been in movies
I've rubbed elbows with many celebrities
I′ve jettisoned with the jet-set
I've fl own over six of the seven seas
So come down from your alter
And then maybe I′ll come down from my throne
Yeah I had to travel around the world
Just to fi nd my way home
I think that I have met some prophets
And I've befriended the lowest of the low
For a while I was a rich man
Now I haven't even a seed that I can sow
So come down from your alter
And then I′ll come down from my throne
Yeah I had to travel around the world
Just to fi nd my way home
