I'm running away
| I've got to get home
| I'm lost in a crowd
| But I'm still on my own
| I'm looking ahead
| So I'm staying behind
| I'm not being cruel
| I'm just being kind
|
| I close my eyes
| It's no surprise
| I'm always there
| Can't count the times
| I've tried to hide
| And found nowhere
|
| I'm trying to lay low
| But I keep getting high
| My feet on the ground
| Got my head in the sky
| My eye on the future
| That's stuck in the past
| I find I can't lose
| When I aim to come last
|
| I realise
| It's no surprise
| That nothing's clear
| That black is white
| That day is night
| And there is here
|
| I'm right on the ball
| But I'm missing the mark
| I burn in the sun
| I'm scared of the dark
| Got an ivory tower
| With a bird's eye view
| Got plenty of time
| But nothing to do
|
| The best disguise
| It's no surprise
| Is disappear
| Can't count the times
| I've tried to hide
| And found nowhere
|
| I'm running away
| I've got to get home
| I'm lost in a crowd
| But I'm still on my own
| I'm looking ahead
| So I'm staying behind
| I'm not being cruel
| I'm just being kind
|
| I realise
| It's no surprise
| That nothing's clear
| That black is white
| That day is night
| And there is here
|
| The best disguise
| It's no surprise
| Is disappear
| Can't count the times
| I've tried to hide
| And found nowhere
|
| I close my eyes
| It's no surprise
| I'm always there
| Can't count the times
| I've tried to hide
| And found nowhere
|
| I realise
| It's no surprise
| That nothing's clear
| That black is white
| That day is night
| And there is here
|
| The best disguise
| It's no surprise
| Is disappear
| Can't count the times
| I've tried to hide
| And found nowhere
