Text
Come down off your thrown and leave your body alone; somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting so long; somebody holds the key.	a
Well I'm near the end and just ain't got the time; and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.	b
Come down on your own and leave your body alone; somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting all these years; somebody holds the key.	c
. . . but I, can't find my way home. (5x) . . . still I can't find my way home; and I ain't done nothing wrong, but I can't find my way home.	d
