Verse 1

Home - is where I want to be

pick me up and turn me round

I feel numb, born with a weak heart

I guess I must be having fun

The less we say about it the better

Make it up as we go along

Feet on the ground, head in the sky

its ok i know nothings wrong

nothings...



Hi-yo, Ive got plenty of time

Hi-yo, Youve got light in your eyes

And your standing here beside me

I love the passing of time

Never for money - always for love

Cover up and say goodnight

Say goodnight...

Verse 2

Home - is where I want to be

but I guess Im already there

I come home, she lifted up her wings

I guess that this must be the place

I cant tell one from another

Did i find you or you find me?

There was a time, before we were born

If someone asks this is where Ill be

Where Ill be...



Hi-yo, We drift in and out

Hi-yo, sing into my mouth

Out of all those kinds of people

Youve got a face with a view

Im just an animal, looking for a home

Share the same space for a minute or two

And you love me till my heart stops

Love me till Im dead

eyes that light up, eyes that look through

Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head

Oooooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.....



Theres another lead bit after this but I find its more fun to make
something up as opposed to copying the song exactly.
