Wrong Way Home

Why don't we take the wrong way home?
No one's calling on the telephone
Dream in the head and a lightning stone
Nothing gonna touch us in a thunderstorm

Wake up again with the sun in your face
Day after day it's the same
Pack up your bags like you did yesterday
Get to the next starting place

Put on your makeup and get on the stage
Tell a new tale every night
Stand still the sets and the scenery change
Are we just ghosts in the light of the ghost light?

Why don't we take the wrong way home?
No one's calling on the telephone
Dream in the head and a lightning stone
Nothing gonna touch us in a thunderstorm

What do we need to keep us going on?
Half a deck of cards and a suitcase drum
What do we do when we've lost our way?
Trail of lucky pennies gonna get us home safe
What do we need?
What do we do?

Why don't we take the wrong way home?
No one's calling on the telephone
Dream in the head and a lightning stone
Nothing gonna touch us in a thunderstorm

Travelers we wander all over the world
Tracing a shape we can't see
Home's not a place, it is only a word
Where we are trying to be

Day after day, it is never the same
Look at the clouds in the sky
Pack up your bags like you did yesterday
Wake with the sun in your eyes
