Place To Place

It started when I was at school

And those Cline Road boys would treat you cruel

I was beat and fell out of the race

My mind started shifting round from place to place

It got me so I couldn't get me out of bed

Used to lay there like I was dead

Mum would cry and Dad would yell tilll he was red in the face

And they started shifting me from place to place

A halfway house isn't half a home

How can you live with other people and feel so alone?

Feels like I'm going nowhere at quite a pace

They just shift you round from place to place

Dose you up with Olanzapine

Never mind where your're going don't know where you've been

You can see it in the lines written on my face

They just shift you round from place to place

There is no care in no community

People they just stare at me

The doctors say, "What a fascinating case."

Amd then just shift you round from place to place

I don't believe in heavens above

I believe in here and now and love

Something that cannot be replaced

Don't shift us round from place to place

A halfway house isn't half a home

How can you live with other people and feel so alone?

Feels like I'm going nowhere at quite a pace

They just shift you round from place to place...
