On The Beach (Rosemont Theatre, Rosemont, IL, May 1st) Songtext
von Neil Young

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
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 wanna see it turn away
