different world you're in a different world -everything seems so strange around you you've never seen these people before you never knew a place existed like this, and strangely enough you find yourself being drawn to its core suddenly everything around you loses its meaning people act like they're on a different planet a tribal dance is going on around you, fire burns and you feel yourself coming closer, helping other dancers to fan it it's a different world, you finally got an invitation someone told them you knew how to have fun but these people -are showing you that you don't need worries, evidently, there's no work to be done so you loosen up,looks like nobody's staring at you, after all, how hard can this be you're getting caught up -in the swirl of a happy crowd stubbornly fighting the instinct to flee everyone knows that you're out of place a Different World, it's just a little bit awkward can't they see the embarrassment on your face wild how you sometimes can be so relaxed and other times feel nothing but tension if you can only close your eyes, pretend that you're alone maybe you wouldn't have to feel such apprehension and you know you're out of your element now, pretty soon the music's gonna stop, and you'll figure out if it's a clean get away but there's something you could feel at the edge of your mind and it keeps on telling you that you like it that way dress and talk much different than they do Different World, but you feel this sudden kinship and you hope they divert the attention away from you suddenly you're back home and you're telling it to your friends, but there's no way that they can understand you you want them to see so bad, but you can't seem to explain it all it's a Different World the one that you've been to can't wait to get back to it when we're done a Different World -looks like we're throwing it all away cuz we just found ourselves an all new way to have fun... words and music by joseph herbert, copyright 1994 |
