Leo Sayer - Bedsitterland lyrics

Writers: leo sayer & frank farrell I'm thinking of taking The easy way out Open the window I'll fall to the ground I could do it -- wouldn't be much too it I gotta little place here in the city It's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter And there's a lot of us living here Wall to wall in one big house And when the night comes 'round I can see a lot of lonely lights There are people in there breathing But it don't seem right In the streets way down below me I'm listening for just a sound But nobody comes around In bedsitterland And there's a man below me on the balcony Crying to be heard Screaming to be heard I'm haunted by his words And the people in the street just shrug their shoulders Saying he's disturbed He's in another world Screaming at the birds Crying to be heard I hear his every word I've slept in the gutter on a summer's day Oh i've bummed cigarettes in the night cafes I've joined the breadline Believe i got a deadline I gotta little place here in the city It's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter And there's a lot of us living here Wall to wall in one big house And when the night comes 'round I can see a lot of lonely lights There are people in there breathing But it don't seem right In the streets way down below me I'm listening for just a sound But nobody comes around The lights are going down Nobody comes around In bedsitterland
