lyrics

It plays a hundred times.
This dream that leaves in the morning.
I sail the ocean lines.
And wash up on Bannerman's Island.
With a rusted landmine.
That's strapped to my face.
Like a ticking timebomb.
As I run in place.

Fly away. In a day. Find a way. To get away.
Lie awake. In a state. Find a way.
But not in vein. But not in vein.

I want to run away with you, run away from you.
I'd like to run away with you, run away from you.

I count a thousand miles.
From here to the center of New Orleans.
Just like a Stalin trial.
Last breaths purged without warning.

And I know the outcome.
As I fall in place.
But you never realize.
How.
I plot my escape.

I want to run away with you, run away from you.
I'd like to run away with you, run away from you.
I want to run away with you, run away from you.
I have to run away with you, run away from you.

I'm gonna sit and stare at the telephone wires, and just admire that no one cares, or needs them now, but they all lead to places you'll just never know.

There's a ticking timebomb, as I run in place.

I want to run away with you, run away from you.
I'd like to run away with you, run away from you.
I have to run away with you, run away from you.
I have to run away from you, run away from you.

It feels like I'm out of control.
I don't think there's any other way?

I lie awake at night, and pace around the quiet places.
I climb a stage sometimes, to punch a thousand different faces.
And fall asleep to find that nothing ever really changes.
