Lyrics:

Things aren't quite as they seem
Inside my domain
Cos you can't know about everything
Only pleasure and pain

You wonder why I come here
With head to my hands
Where else can I be cured
And the king of your mansion

A thorn in your side
And a child to protect
That claims he's free

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling, come quickly
Come ease my mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
Yeah

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

These comforts to me
And these crosses to bear
With which we live

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

Yeah

I'm the thorn in your side
And the child to protect
Yes, yes I am

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven, oh
Oh strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling, come quickly
Come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
Yeah

Just around the corner
Yeah yeah yeah
Strong enough to hold you
Yes, I am
Half a mile to heaven, yeah
Just around the corner
Yes, I am
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
