Back on the road
New pair of shoes
Almost took a wrong turn thinking 'bout you
I shook my head left
I shook my head right
Had about enough of thinking 'bout you tonight

I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away

I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling night

Back in the street
Where I should be
The good times and the bad times are waiting there for me
I try to make a move
But nothing seems to give
I can't climb the wall to where the other half live

I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away

I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling right

A thousand years ago
Or two years from now
I'll guarantee that someone's gonna try to get you down
Everything you've got
Is all they wanna take
But you can sing a song, They can never steal away

I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away

I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling
Rich when I'm broke
Young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling right
