Waifs: "Taken" Lyrics

night-time i stage my street show

love for the money that's my cash flow

no I don't get scared when I walk alone

I have been on this beat enough to know

that when shit happens it is just your turn

so you deal with it and it happens everyday

I don't know quite where I belong

so when they come I freely give myself away

walkabout - a very different kind

walkabout - a very different place and time

I stand underneath street lights dreaming of the moon

it is rising in a desert a life I never know

taken away and now I'm walking by myself

when you grow up in institutions 

you make your friends but love you never know

so when I found my blood ran from the desert

I knew it was somewhere I had to go

I went to the people there

I lost and found myself on either side

something deep down just don't feel right

so I walk about this country

and I walk about these streets to find where my heart lies.
