I was late, late for the third time. Missed the bus. I guess I'll be walking. Go left right left right
I walked straight into the street sign. Hit the ground, right on the beat. I went right down right
Lost my job. It's alright. Lost my home. It's alright. Damn it all! Bit by dogs it alright. Broke my heart. It's alright. Damn it all!
And I'll go walking down these tracks. And I'll go scruffing up my slacks. Don't think I'll go back. We're going nowhere, going nowhere
My life was all laid out to the last detail And then the seams slowly frayed, ripped, decayed. Everyday disintegrate I never thought that this could be. I had to leave once the damage was complete.
And even though I love you I still need to escape.
When I look up from these books and see the person that I could be In five years, ten years two kids, two cars in a rich suburban neighborhood where I’ve traded all my singing for a pocket full of money my cynicism for apathy no, that’s not who I want to be
I hope that I will stay far from going that way and if I see myself starting to stray I will go far away
I'm gonna close down my bank account I'm gonna cut up my IDs and Cut off all my hair and I'll burn my fingerprints off and I'll scar up my own face yeah I will get out of here I'll leave without a trace
No one's going to recognize me again Not even a farewell to my friends
