Imprisoned by these Eastern shores
Tempted by the West
A compromise could see me in Ceduna
Abandoned by all common sense
Until I'm left with none
I know I should have made my mind up sooner
But what's left behind is worth the time and trouble
It takes to understand
When the road you take is blocked by all
The friends you thought you had
But on and on we stumble
Till we reach the end
And now at last it seems I'm singing your song
And now I see the way things might have been
How was I so wrong?
Blinded for so long
When friends were scarce
And no one cared
And no one seems to understand
What's going on
Holding out against the world
Running against the grain
No one ever wants to know
Someone else's pain
An alien to freedom
A foreigner to change
You might say I'm just a fool
To try and rearrange
All the things that really matter
Keep me going strong
Cos who's to say in love and war
What is right or wrong
And worst of all
We just stand still
And now at last it seems I'm singing your song
And now I see the way things might have been
How was I so wrong?
Blinded for so long
When friends were scarce
And no one cared
And no one seems to understand
What's going on
How was I so wrong?
Blinded for so long
When friends were scarce
And no one cared
And no one seems to understand
What's going on
