IT'S A LONG WAY HOME... BENJAMIN

It's a well-known fact - Don't ever sit back
And start watching those sad movies end to end
Flirting with regret - Brushing off some dusty lover
you barely met - Second guessing yourself again
It's a fool's game you're gonna play
So much left to say
And your audience is deaf dumb and blind
Take your handicapped heart
Don't say nothing - just press start
I'm sorry - you're out of time
And its a long way home... Benjamin

What you gonna do - When the emotional race is through
Standing in the tracks of your tears
Your isolation can't defend
Your philosophy a dead end
Your thinking the sum of your fears

Simon says walk around - sounds of silence you have found
When you sign off on the bottom line
You're looking for an escape
For an outlet - or a mystery date
And Alaska is more then a state of mind
And it's a long way home... Benjamin

Yes I know I should have told you so - But believe me
I was the last one to know
There's no wizard in this Land of Oz
You're gonna find your own way - Without me or pretty Dorothy
Trust your courage, use your brains, feel your heart

And every chance you're gonna take
You say good-bye to Candlewood lake
Where the sirens song still tear you apart
And it's a long way home
Yes it's a long way home
Oh It's a long way home... Benjamin
