Life On Earth / Four Faded Walls (Live) - Philip Quast

Come in come in do you read me

Come in can you hear me

Come in come in do you read me

Can you hear me

Come in come in do you read me

Can you hear me

Come in come in come in

I'm going home I'm going home

To that poor little town in which

I spent so many years

And in that poor little town runs

A sad little street

And on that sad little street sits

A dull yellow house

And in that dull yellow house

I swear it's yellow can you believe it

In that dull yellow house there's a room

I know that room

I know this room

In that corner in that chair

Used to sit a yellow bear with button eyes

His name was will

And I recall from long ago how my

Soldiers row by row

Would all stand guard upon that sill

And over there of course the bed

I used to hide beneath

Although now I've grown too fat to fit

Don't ask me how I know I just do

God the fantasies and glories

I imagined way back then

When now I have to fight to even

Think one moment through

And standing here it all comes back

The wonders that I knew

Inside these four faded walls

I was the hero

Inside these four faded walls

I played the prince

The toys paraded very grand and how

They'd bow at my command

Inside these four faded walls I smiled

As I've rarely smiled since

And now I live in the city

Sweet jesus what a city

You should see it come out and visit some time

The lights are blinding and the

Rush is well worth getting

Jesus christ I'm sweating just thinking of the place

It's quite a place you know

And I work day and night to keep up with the pace

The crowds move too fast but I stay in the race

Help my stomach bleeds red till I'm blue in the face

And good God what a life I'm living

Good God what a life I'm living

When I used to have so little

Stranded in the middle of these four faded walls

Inside these four faded walls

Inside these four faded walls I had adventures

Inside these four faded walls the future gleamed

Upon this floor upon this site

I lived in never ending light

Inside these four faded walls the world was bright

There was no night or so it seemed

Inside these four faded walls I dreamed
