Lyrics Any World (That I'm Welcome To) - Steely Dan

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job
Ride the train through the misty nighttime
I'd be ready when my feet touch ground
Wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me
Then they'll have me

(Any world that I'm welcome to) I say
(Any world that I'm welcome to)
(Any world that I'm welcome to)
Is better than the one I come from

I can hear your words
When you speak of what you are and have seen
I can see your hand
Reaching out through a shining daydream
Where the days and nights are not the same
Captured happy in a picture frame
Honey, I will be there
Yes, I'll be there

(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Yes, I'm talking 'bout any world
(Any world that I'm welcome to)
Is better than the one I come from

I got this thing inside me
That's got to find a place to hide me
I only know I must obey
This feeling I can't explain away

I think I'll go to the park
Watch the children playing
Perhaps I'll find in my head
What my heart is saying
A vision of a child returning
A kingdom where the sky is burning
Honey, I will be there
Yes, I'll be there

(Any world that I'm welcome to) It's no lie
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Yes, I'm talking 'bout any world
(Any world that I'm welcome to)
Is better than the one I come from
Is better than the one I come from
Is better than the one I come from

(Any world that I'm welcome to) It's no lie
(Any world that I'm welcome to) I got to move on out
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
(Any world that I'm welcome to) Any world will do
