Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
You can't know about everything
Only pleasure and pain
You wonder why I come here
With head to my hands

Where else can I be cured
And the king of your mansion?
A thorn in your side
And a child to protect
That claims he's free

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection

Darling
Come quickly
Come ease my mind
For my prayers have not been answered
In a long time

I've already made my bed
Like it or not
As long as there's no regrets
I'll be here
When the ride stops

These comforts to me
And these crosses to bare
With which we live

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection

Baby
I can't drag you into this mess!

I'm the thorn in your side
And the child to protect
Yes

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection

Darling
Come quickly
Come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered
In a long time

Some just around the corner, yeah
Some strong enough to hold you
Half a mile to heaven, yeah
Just around the corner
