      I thought the same thing being young but having been raised watching stop making sense. I was 25 when I saw him Glasgow on the American utopia tour. it was honestly a one of a kind show. if you can, see him in person. it's an entirely different experience.

    Home is where I want to be
    Pick me up and turn me around
    I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
    Guess I must be having fun
    The less we say about it the better
    Make it up as we go along
    Feet on the ground, head in the sky
    It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing
    I got plenty of time
    You got light in your eyes
    And you're standing here beside me
    I love the passing of time
    Never for money, always for love
    Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight
    Home, is where I want to be
    But I guess I'm already there
    I come home, she lifted up her wings
    I guess that this must be the place
    I can't tell one from the other
    I find you, or you find me?
    There was a time before we were born
    If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be
    We drift in and out
    Sing into my mouth
    Out of all those kinds of people
    You got a face with a view
    I'm just an animal looking for a home
    And share the same space for a minute or two
    And you love me till my heart stops
    Love me till I'm dead
    Eyes that light up
    Eyes look through you
    Cover up the blank spots
    Hit me on the head

    This song has always been one of my favorites, even during
    the ebbs in my life. I've been happily married to my new wife for 18 months, that followed 18 years in a far less happy marriage to an ex-wife that was the keeper of my houses. Now, my home (my first) is at last, the "place". This is a song that I listen to at least once a day, but that I live all day, ever day---now that I can't wait to get to my home. I've had houses before, but never a home. If my happiness annoys the reader, I'm sorry...
