Song information

Title: Half a Mile Away
Artist: Billy Joel
Album: 52nd Street

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)
