Down To Earth

(album: Wolftracks - 1982)

Off all the women in the Western World
I like to sing about the working girls
The waitress, dancer and the clerk
All the wives and mothers and lovers that hurt

For whatever this is worth
These people are down to Earth
Born to be alone since their lonely birth
They're down to Earth, they're down to Earth

To all the guys on the street tonight
I hope you live to see the morning light
All the cops and truckers and rockers too
All the cruiser's and bruiser's, this all goes out to you

For whatever this is worth
These people are down to Earth
Born to be alone since their lonely birth
They're down to Earth, they're down to Earth

And stranded in the schools
The future prophets, the future fools
Oh, we all make plans to change this world
But this world's gonna change us too

So try to find the time to live before you die
Yes, truth has got more beauty than a lie
But this life is mystery I'll just never understand
I simply take my place in the master plan

For whatever this is worth
These people are down to Earth
Born to be alone since their lonely birth
They're down to Earth, they're down to Earth

For whatever this is worth
These people are down to Earth
Born to be alone since their lonely birth
They're down to Earth, they're down to Earth

For whatever this is worth
These people are down to Earth
Born to be alone since their lonely birth
They're down to Earth, they're down to Earth
