Intro verse 1 Well my shoes are crumbling from my feet Still I can choose to embrace victory or defeat It's just I'm scared I must have done somebody wrong Still I'm prepared to pay the price In another life as another someone Cause I'm here and then I'm gone But I wont to be gone for long It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run verse 2 Little children always seem afraid of me I never done them wrong Nor their parents, as far as I can see I know it's true I ain't too cool I kinda dress down like tramp No, it's no excuse not to bathe I know that I smell pretty bad Well I'm always out of line But I'm just my mother's son And I live a little beyond where the last buses run verse 3 And it's true I never had a job Unlike you there's no one I have ever robbed I'm a man though they treat me like a dog I can't understand what it is they are so afraid of For I'd love to be with you But it just cannot be done For I live a little beyond where the last buses run Interlude verse 4 Well the sun is water in my eye And my blues are as blue as the cloudless summer sky And if I knew what tomorrow might bring I might throw a noose over a beam & there I'd swing But it ain't mee and even cliches disappear I can bare my teeth even while I'm living on the verge of tears For today there's too much sunshine in the sky And these tears of grief could be tears of joy Welling in my eye for the The end is coming soon but it's only just begun Where I live a little beyond where the last buses run Well I'm crank and I'm a crack pot But I ain't a bad son of a gun It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run
