Half a Mile Away Lyrics by Billy Joel

Half a Mile Away Lyrics

    Little Geo is a friend of mine
    We get some money and we buy a cheap wine,
    Sit on the corner and have a holiday,
    Hide the bottle when the cop goes by,
    Talk about women and lie, lie, lie
    Oh, my other world is just a half a mile away

    Wait for mamma to turn out the light,
    Crawl on the roof and then hit the night
    I should be sleeping, but tonight, I just can't stay
    I've given everybody so much time
    Now, I need a moment that's mine
    Oh, my other world is just a half a mile away

    Ooh, it's just a half a mile away
    Ooh, it's just a half a mile away
    Ooh yeah, it's just a half a mile away

    Angelina, save a place for me
    I've been livin' someone else's life and now, I've got to be free
    Turn your transistor on and let the music play
    I try to keep the family satisfied
    But there's gotta be more to life than just try, try, try
    Oh, my other world is only a half a mile away

    Ooh, it's just a half a mile away
    Ooh, it's just a half a mile away
    Ooh yeah, it's just a half a mile away

    INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

    I've given everybody so much time
    Now, I need a moment that's mine
    Oh, my other world is just a half a mile away

    Doo-ooh doo, doo-ooh doo
    It's just a, it's just a half a mile away
    (repeat and fade out)
