Things aren´t quite as they seem
Inside my domain
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
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

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

I´m the thorn in your side
And the child to protect

And I´m just around the comer
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

Some just around the corner, yeh
Some strong enough to hold you
Half a mile to heaven, yeh
Just around the corner
