Never see you coming around They know they got their heads screwed on I'm standing in the middle of town I know I might never come home Just standing where I am with all the people passing by me The sound of all these passers-by mixed in with the bus and motor-car I must be sure these are the signs 'Cause I've been here a million times before Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down Bringing you round Tell me if I'm bringing you down 'Cause I was fine till you came along You tell me that the tears of a clown cloud That I'm confusing while abusing my mind So far away I wanna be That's not as close to you and me The things they call our destiny Now why'd you have to pick on me at all? My walls are coming down Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down Coming around, coming around Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down It's coming around, hey It's coming around
