A northern soul
This is a tale of a Northern SoulLooking to find his way back homeHe's coming from that same old roadYou know the one your folds don't know
I want to see if you know meI was born in a rented roomMy mother didn't get no flowersDad didn't approve of me, do you?
I'm alive with something inside of meAnd I don't think I'm coming backSo come on come in inside of meLet's spread it all around
Give me your powder and pillsI want to see if they cure my illsI've no time for love and devotion
No time for old fashioned potion
Take a look into my eyesI tell you so many lies and then I'll let you go into the nightAnd I don't think I'm coming downI'm alive with something inside of meAnd I can't seem to get it out
I'm gonna die alone in bedThis is a tale of a northern soulLooking for his way back homeAnd my friend said, "Come in side of meAnd your speakers are telling the truthComing through and into your room on a river of sound"
This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home
And if he sees it I know I'll know (x2)And there's fighting on the street belowI know there's fighting on the street belowBut I don't care 'Cause I'm a Northern SoulAnd I'm looking for a way back home
Too busy staying alive (x2)
Too busy living a lie, too busy living my lifeToo busy staying alive
