Map Of The World

Marillion

Watching the people on the street today she couldn't help but smile 
Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis 
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit 
This is the day she walks away 

And the lights of the city pushin' a good time 
Asking her out tonight 
But she's saving her money for a better life 

She's got a map of the world 
Pinned up on her wall 
She's got a map of the world 
She's gonna go and see it all 
She's gonna see it all 

Watchin the people on the street today 
Such a lonely sight 
'Swore she could see their dreams go by 
All cars and stars and buy buy buy 
Runnin on empty Runnin to stand still 
No time for their own lives 
Sleepwalking through the danger signs 

And it feels a little scary 
A little runaway 
Letting go of all she's done 
And the lights of the city, well they're all singin' 
Buy some of this, cmon 
But when you lie to yourself 
You lie to everyone 

She's got a map of the world 
Pinned up on her wall 
She's got a map of the world 
She's gonna go and see it all 
She's gonna see it all 

She'll empty the sand from her shoes 
In Paradise 
Sail out across the bay 
She'll dance under an island sky 
Until the break of day 

She's got a map of the world 
Pinned up on her wall 
It's such a beautiful world 
Glistening and magical 

She's got a map of the world 
Shining away in her mind 
Colouring-in her life 
This is the day she walks 
She's gonna see it all 
She's gonna breathe it all 
Paris London New York 
She's gonna see it all
