lyrics

oh, how're you gonna travel around the world?
don't you know how big it is?
don't you know how sad it is?
don't you know how lonely it is?

oh, Antonio
left the sweet shores of home
like everybody else who's ever needed dough
for now, the hostel's home
London pizza's no Rome,
not close to New York
this world makes folks come and go

so he takes a hit of hash
and he leans against the wall
is there a sickness in the streets
of this sick city after all?
and it's come down to that
but we're silent
all he's got is slipping-

oh, the night still goes
I catch some rest well-knowing
that pretty soon the bed I'd be in is my own
with him I don't know what to say
'cause he can't say the same
he misses sleeping on the beaches miles away

so I take a hit of hash
and I lean against the wall
is there a sickness in the streets
of this sick city after all?
and it's come down to that
but we're speechless
all we've got is slipping from us

heaven's on earth and earth is hell
there are flowers and fruits for you to sell
you can be homeless in paradise or a genius in a cell
that's how I know heaven's on earth and earth is hell
