There's a star on every highway There's a name on every street But the roads don't travel my way And the corners never meet Frozen smiles on all the faces Wooden hands that shake my own All the broken promise keepers loved me 'Til I'm all alone People get along with nothing Copper pennies make them smile They learn to dance to any music Dancing's not my style But must I be the audience To everything I see Life is just a hurricane And looking through the eye is me In around and all about me I hear laughter through the smoke When was I disqualified Funny I don't get the joke Everything I want I get As long as it won't bring me joy The sum of my desires Is the value of a broken toy People drink the wine of friendship People eat the bread of love Life is sticking in my throat And dust is what it tastes of Why must I be the audience To everything I see Life is just a hurricane And looking through the eye is me Like a swan upon a mirror My reflection doesn't change I don't know how to make a ripple And even I can see I'm strange Everybody is doing battle Protected by a cross or star Is it easier to think That you know who you are Can I drink the wine of friendship Can I eat the bread of love Life is sticking in my throat And dust is what it tastes of Why must I be the audience To everything I see Life is just a hurricane And looking through the eye is me
