lyrics

BEYOND WHERE THE LAST BUSES RUN
by Van Walker

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 want to be gone for long
It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run

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
& 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

And it's true I never had a job unlike you
Although 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

Well the sun is water in my eye
& 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 me 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

& these tears of grief could be tears of joy
Welling in my eye
The end is coming soon but it's only just begun
Where I live a little beyond where the last buses run
But I ain't a bad son of a gun
It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run
