Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Things aren't quite as they seem
Inside my domain
She can't know 'bout everything
Only pleasure and pain
[Verse 2]
You wonder why I come here
With head to my hands
Where else can I be cured?
And the king of your mansion
[Verse 3]
A thorn in your side
And a child to protect
That claims he's free
[Verse 4]
Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
[Verse 5]
Darling, come quickly
Come, ease my mind
For my prayers have not been answered
In a long time
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
These comforts to me
And these crosses to bear
With which we live
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I'm the thorn in your side
And the child to protect
Yes, yes I'm
[Verse 10]
Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
[Verse 11]
Darling, come quickly
Come, ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered
In a long time
[Verse 12]
I'm just around the corner
Yea-yea-yeah
So I'm strong enough to hold you
Yes, I am
Half a mile to heaven, yeah
Just around the corner
