Oh, long ago
There was a dead rat caught in a Chinese trap,
And all I had to show
Were the ashes of a life that had no chance.
It wasn't right, but all I could do
Was be another number that caught in the fuse.
And what a lie, with nothing to lose
Something happened in nineteen-eighty-two!
Are you the enemy?
Let me show you what you did to me.
Once I get away from here,
I know it's gonna be my time.
I've seen to much to keep me here,
I don't want yours, I just want mine.
I'm never alone,
I'm always in the middle talking to myself.
And all I want to know,
Am I really on the road, I just can't tell.
It isn't right
But all I can do is take it to a level
Where I can't refuse.
It's a lie,
I need you to see,
Let me show you what you did to me.
Once I get away from here,
I know it's gonna be my time.
I've seen to much to keep me here,
I don't want yours, I just want mine.
Before I get away from here
I think I better set you straight.
I know my place is miles from here,
You'll never understand to make my fate.
Deep down there's a Devil inside.
He can make you give up everything,
Settle if you want to die
Or you can live for a world that must be free.
Oh, once I get away from here,
I know it's gonna be my time.
I've seen to much to keep me here,
I don't want yours, I just want mine.
Before I get away from here
I think I better set you straight.
I know my place is miles from here,
You'll never understand to make my fate.
Once I get away from here,
Oh, once I get away from here-
I know it's gonna be my time!
