Steely Dan - Any World (That I'm Welcome To) lyrics

I'd quit my job, ride the train through the misty night-time.

I'll be ready when my feet touch the ground, wherever I come down,

And if the folks will have me, then they'll have me.

Any world that I'm welcome to [any kind of world]

Any world that I'm welcome to

Any world that I'm welcome to

Is better than the one I come from.

I can hear your words when you speak of what you are and have seen;

I can see your hand reaching out through a shining daydream.

Where the days and nights are not the same, captured happy in a picture frame;

Honey, I will be there, yes, I'll be there.

[chorus]

I got this thing inside me that's got to find a place to hide me.

I only know I must obey this feeling I can't explain away.

I think I'll go to the park, watch the children playing;

Perhaps I'll find in my head what my heart is saying.

A vision of a returning. A kingdom where the sky is burning;

Honey, I will be there, yes, I'll be there.

[chorus]

Is better than the one I come from.

Is better than the one I come from.

Any world that I'm welcome to. [any kind of world] x ad lib [fade]
