This is a tale of a 
Northern Soul
Looking to find his way back home
He's coming from that same old road
You know the one your folds don't know
I want to see if you know me
I was born in a rented room
My mother didn't get no flowers
Dad didn't approve of me, do you?
I'm alive with something inside of me
And I don't think 
I'm coming back
So come on come in inside of me
Let's spread it all around
Give me your powder and pills
I want to see if they cure my ills
I've no time for love and devotion
No time for old fashioned potion
Take a look into my eyes
I tell you so many lies and then 
I'll let you go into the night
And I don't think 
I'm coming down
I'm alive with something inside of me...
And I can't seem to get it out
I'm gonna die alone in bed
This is a tale of a northern soul
Looking for his way back home
And my friend said, "Come in side of meAnd your speakers are telling the truthComming through and into your room on a river of sound"
This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home
And if he sees it 
I know I'll know (repeat)
And there's fighting on the street below
I know there's fighting on the street below
But I dont' care coz 
I'm a Northern 
SoulAnd I'm looking for a way back home
Too busy staying alive (repeat)
Too busy living a lie, too busy living my life
Too busy stayihg alive
