Can pee here on the house where you live

People stop and stare, that don't bother me
'Cause there's nowhere else on Earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Let the time go by, I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Last Chance To Turn Around"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Last exit to Brooklyn
Last chance to turn around Why They're Nonsensical: On a highway, you can turn around if you go past your intended exit. Just exit at the next turnoff and then get back onto the highway and travel in the opposite direction. Or, if it's permitted, you can make a U-turn in the median.
