You can't go home, no I swear you never can,
You can walk a million miles and get nowhere.
I got nowhere to go and it seems I came back
Just filling in the lines for the holes and the cracks
Hey, no one knows me,
No one saves me,
No one loves or hates me,
I've been away for too long.
This place has a special kind of falling apart,
Like they put the whole thing together in the dark,
No one knows where the edge of the knife is,
And no one knows where intelligent life is.
Hey, no one knows me,
No one saves me,
No one loves or hates me.
Going straight
I only ever really wanted a break,
I've been away for too long,
No, I never really wanted to stay,
I've been away for too long,
I've been away for too long,
I've been away for too long.
Kilos through keyholes, widows through windows,
I am still hiding, everyone is silent.
Tankards and flagons, and snifters, and flutes on my way home…
Going straight
I only ever really wanted a break,
I've been away for too long,
No I never really wanted to stay.
Going straight
I only ever really wanted a break,
I've been away for too long,
No I never really wanted to stay,
I've been away for too long.
