You stand before that open doorway
That door could carry you away, carry you away
It’s not the first time that you’ve been here
But every time you turn away, turn your head away
Get your hat on and your sunglasses
If you wanna get a move on, you’ve just got to get it on
Stop telling yourself that it’s time to get out of this stationary life, stationary life
A voice from deep inside you calls out
It says it might not be the way, might not be the way
That subtle voice seems so familiar
The thousand lips that turn away, lips that turn away
Get your hat on and your sunglasses…
You stand before that open doorway
That door could carry you away, carry you away
