Watching the people on the street today she couldn't help but smile
Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks away
And the lights of the city pushin' a good time
Asking her out tonight
But she's saving her money for a better life
She's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
She's got a map of the world
She's gonna go and see it all
She's gonna see it all
Watchin the people on the street today
Such a lonely sight
'swore she could see their dreams go by
All cars and stars and buy buy buy
Runnin on empty runnin to stand still
No time for their own lives
Sleepwalking through the danger signs
And it feels a little scary
A little runaway
Letting go of all she's done
And the lights of the city, well they're all singin'
Buy some of this, cmon
But when you lie to yourself
You lie to everyone
She's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
She's got a map of the world
She's gonna go and see it all
She's gonna see it all
She'll empty the sand from her shoes
In paradise
Sail out across the bay
She'll dance under an island sky
Until the break of day
She's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
It's such a beautiful world
Glistening and magical
She's got a map of the world
Shining away in her mind
Colouring-in her life
This is the day she walks
She's gonna see it all
She's gonna breathe it all
Paris london new york
She's gonna see it all

Marillion è un gruppo musicale britannico di rock progressivo formatosi ad Aylesbury nel 1977. La formazione originale comprendeva Steve Hogarth (voce), Mark Kelly (tastiere), Pete Trewavas (basso) e Ian Mosley (batteria). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da melodie intricate, testi poetici e un'atmosfera spesso malinconica, ha conquistato un seguito fedele nel corso degli anni. Dopo il successo del primo album, *Script for a Jester's Tear* (1983), la band ha attraversato diverse fasi di evoluzione, con cambiamenti nella formazione e sperimentazioni musicali. Il loro periodo più popolare è stato negli anni '80, con album come *Fugazi* (1984) e *Misplaced Childhood* (1985). Negli anni '90, Marillion ha continuato a registrare e esibirsi, mantenendo un forte legame con i fan. Steve Hogarth è diventato il frontman principale nel 1989, portando la band verso una nuova era musicale. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi sono *Kayleigh*, *Incommunicado* e *The Leavers*. Marillion rimane oggi una delle band progressive più influenti e amate al mondo.
