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 now
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
theirs could never die
If they 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 now
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
I’m gonna run down the street
Run outta town
I’m gonna run from the home 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’m gonna run away now
I’ve gotta run away now
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 flushed 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 musty gas tank full of tears
Gets you nowhere
Not the places I want in
‘Cause I just don’t feel at home in mine
So I'll slip now
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
