No Place To Call Home
I'm at best two bad decisions
Or three pay checks away
From being just another face
That doesn't have a name
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Begging for change
He's got nothing left to say
So now he only sings
While he's moving place to place
He's always plucking his last string
He's got nowhere left to go
Or anywhere to be
But still somehow has fewer problems
Than he has got teeth
So I try and hide the guilt
Leave behind all empathy
But I can't ignore the fact
I'm glad that it's him instead of me
I'm at best two bad decisions
Or three pay checks away
From being just another face
That doesn't have a name
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Not the only one begging for change
And now he spends his days
The same way he spends his weeks
In the doorways of abandoned shops
On Silver Street
And though he's got no bills to pay
The price is still pretty steep
How long until all hope is gone
Like the feeling in his feet
I still hear him sing his upbeat songs
I still look the other way
But I can't ignore the fact
That me and him were once the same
I'm at best two bad decisions
Or three pay checks away
From being just another face
That doesn't have a name
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Not the only one begging for change
But December bit so hard
The ice and snow so thick
And I've not seen him around these parts since the 25th
Maybe he caught a cold
Or did he catch a break
Maybe he was saved
Or found an early grave
I'm at best two bad decisions
Or three pay checks away
From being just another face
That doesn't have a name
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Begging for change
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Not the only one begging for change
Or three pay checks away
From being just another face
That doesn't have a name
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Begging for change
He's got nothing left to say
So now he only sings
While he's moving place to place
He's always plucking his last string
He's got nowhere left to go
Or anywhere to be
But still somehow has fewer problems
Than he has got teeth
So I try and hide the guilt
Leave behind all empathy
But I can't ignore the fact
I'm glad that it's him instead of me
I'm at best two bad decisions
Or three pay checks away
From being just another face
That doesn't have a name
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Not the only one begging for change
And now he spends his days
The same way he spends his weeks
In the doorways of abandoned shops

And though he's got no bills to pay

I hope you know you're not the only one

And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Begging for change
And when you've nothing left to lose
You have everything to gain
I hope you know you're not the only one
Not the only one begging for change
