If I could leave here tonight, I would

I'm not talking driving, but leaving for good.

I'm not talking flying, or taking a train.

I'm not talking dying, or living again.

I'm talking leaving

This world and this place.

I mean I'd pass by

Your gods and your saints.

I mean I'd part from my family and friends.

I mean you listening -- you'd never hear me again.

I wouldn't sing you this song and these lines

I wouldn't live here -- this world and these times

Man alive!

Feel like a tourist, though I know I have tried

Feel like I'm watching

You living your lives.

Like there's something better...

And I have been down

Like there's just something better...

Than earth and this town.

So if I could leave here tonight, I would

I hope you would move on, for me and for good.

Cuz' where I am going, I won't need these lies

And where I am going, I won't need this life.

Man alive!
