Steely Dan - Any World That I'm Welcome To LYRICS

If I had my way I would move to another time;
I'd quit my job, ride the train through the misty night-time.
I'll be ready when my feet touch the ground, wherever I come down,
And if the folks will have me, then they'll have me.

Any world that I'm welcome to [any kind of world]
Any world that I'm welcome to
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from.

I can hear your words when you speak of what you are and have seen;
I can see your hand reaching out through a shining daydream.
Where the days and nights are not the same, captured happy in a picture frame;
Honey, I will be there, yes, I'll be there.

[chorus]

I got this thing inside me that's got to find a place to hide me.
I only know I must obey this feeling I can't explain away.

I think I'll go to the park, watch the children playing;
Perhaps I'll find in my head what my heart is saying.
A vision of a child returning, in a kingdom where the sky is burning;
Honey, I will be there, yes, I'll be there.

[chorus]

Is better than the one I come from.
Is better than the one I come from.

Any world that I'm welcome to. [any kind of world] x ad lib [fade]
