There's no phone booth There's no cape There's no Steve McQueen To help me make my great escape How can I fly Like a hero in the sky? Be a shooting star out in the stratosphere
Where's the shadow? He might know. Where's that searchlight In the sky to point the way to go? Through some new cloud To disappear into the crowd Though the future's dark There's one thing crystal clear That there's no home here
So many voices telling me to choose It's like a game where either team I lose This kind of noise just makes me want to shout I'd like to buy a one way ticket out
Rules of the road say. "Don't look back. Eyes straight ahead. Don't jump the track." Try a new game and pray that I can win. Cause I just don't feel at home in mine So I'll slip down into someone else's skin
I see the maps from every book I've read The worlds that I have lived inside my head I thought a love like there's could never die If it can fade away then so can I
At first you see me then you don't Don't look for me. You know I won't even be there So let the games begin Cause I just don't feel at home in mine So I'll slip down into someone else's skin Into someone else's skin, yea
I'm gonna run down the street Run outta town I'm gonna run from the whole team and never touch down Run from the books Cause it's all been a fake I'm gonna run from the choices that I don't wanna make
School's not out but I can't wait It's the perfect time to graduate today I've gotta run away now I've got to run away Oh yea yea
I know they'll see the truth when I move on They'll need each other much more once I'm gone And then I'm flush and he's back on his feet I'll pick him up and ride down easy street
No time to cry for all the years A rusty gas tank full of tears gets ya nowhere Not the places I want in And I just don't feel at home in mine So I'll slip down into someone else's skin Into someone else's skin, yea Into someone else's skin Into someone else's skin
