Album Version
Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with Dark Side of the Moon
Someone someone could tell me
Where I belong
Be calm be brave it’ll be okay

No more messing around and living underground
And New Year’s resolutions
By this time next year I won’t be here
I turn on turn on MTV the volume’s down
Lips move they say
It’ll be okay

To tell you the truth I’ve said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me
I’m never saying them again
And I shut the light
And listen as my watch unwinds

To tell you the truth I’ve said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I’ve been half-asleep
I’m never doing that again

I look straight at what’s coming ahead
And soon it’s going to change in a new direction
Every night as I’m falling asleep
These words repeated in my head

Voices calling from a yellow road
To come downstairs and say hello
Don’t be shy just say hello

To tell you the truth I’ve said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I’ve been half-asleep

I’m never doing that again
I look straight at what’s coming ahead
And soon it’s going to change in a new direction
Every night as I’m falling asleep
Those words repeated in my head
