My life's a prison
Gets me down

I've spent a lifetime in this sleepy old town

If dreams were money
I'd have it made

Cause I've had a thousand dreams watch them all fade

So I can get up some speed

I have the same old dream each and every night

Take that dream and hold on tight

You know I gotta get away
