The Gloria Switch - The Ballad of El Chavoruco

He took the stairway up
He rode the escalator down
It took everything he had
Not to let go and drown

The view is lovely at the top
But it comes with a price
Life is easier with nothing
He had to learn it twice

If you could run like mercury
No weight upon your shoulders
Why accept complacency
As a cost of getting older?

Your desire is a drug
Your possessions an addiction
You think they'll make you happier
When it's all just drugstore fiction

Bitten hard by wanderlust, the romance of the highway
There's a wild world calling you, its beaches and its byways
Never home, a rolling stone, a vagabond at heart
Undiscovered lovers, a perpetual new start

And who knows where, who knows where
You'll sleep tonight
And who cares? who cares, who cares
It'll surely be all right

Unfamiliar faces in unknown and distant places
When language fails a simple smile can always fill those spaces
Situations, adaptations, teach you who you are
Suddenly a thousand miles just doesn't seem so far

And who knows where, who knows where
You'll sleep tonight
And who cares? who cares, who cares
It'll surely work out fine

Today I woke up happy
You were by my side
Thanks to you I've been reborn
The demons have all died

It's a revelation
It's a revelation

What makes a house a home?
What makes a life worth living?
I'm peaceful when you're near me
You give then you keep on giving

It's a revelation
It's a revelation

Somehow I always knew
That I'd come back to you
The big world has its charms
But I'd rather be in your arms

It's a revelation
It's a revelation

This is what it means to be loved
This is how it feels to be loved
