|
Young man, feelin' old |
|
look and scorn at the ... |
|
Wearing his PJ's at the hippie cafe |
|
Everybody stares at him that way |
|
Skate board, council park |
|
Gets a little scary after dark |
|
There's nothing to do, |
|
It feels like there are only two sane people |
|
And they're leaving soon |
|
Chorus: |
|
In a town, of perfect isolation |
|
Holding her close, though you don't really want her |
|
He's got those magic balloons |
|
He's bought his travelling shoes |
|
He's got a unique style, |
|
And he's been yearning for a while |
|
He knows he's got to go away, away |
|
He gazes at the sky |
|
And like departure passes by |
|
He knows he's got to go away! |
|
This is an afternoon on fire |
|
They feel the season |
|
This is made of girls and Honda |
|
His glasses tease on |
|
At the swimming pools and malls... |
|
The crash is in the air |
|
He'll give them his time |
|
But he doesn't want to share it |
|
He wants to be anywhere but here. |
|
Chorus: |
|
In a town, of perfect isolation |
|
Holding her close, though you don't really want her |
|
He's got those magic balloons |
|
He's bought his travelling shoes |
|
He's got a unique style, |
|
And he's been yearning for a while |
|
He knows he's got to go away, away |
|
He gazes at the sky |
|
And like departure passes by |
|
He knows he's got to go away! |
