Choking

All my friends are vagrants
They wander 'round this dirty old town at night
Well the good ones are complacent
And the bad ones don't know left from right
But I've heard of a place now
Where the buildings won't cast shadows over us
Full of purple heather
And void of all the things that will destroy us
And I will run
While I'm still young
Oh far, so far away from here, from here, from here
And I will run downhill like water
I will run the hell away from here
So what is sleep and what is time
'Cause I don't get much of either, of either
But in this land of paradise
Oh, I know all my friends, they will be there, they will be there
And we'll keep our ears close to the ground
And we'll follow where they lead us, where they lead us
Leave behind this dirty town
Where they say that they don't need us
They don't need us here no more
And I will run
While I'm still young
Oh far, so far away from here, from here, from here
And I will run downhill like water, water, water
I will run the hell away from here
Oh, and let us all go someplace
Where we that know we are wanted
And let me be the ghost by which
That bridge Albert was haunted lord
And let the waters under her be dark and deep
And let us sing
Oh, let us sing, oh
And I have seen the beacon's light
I'll follow where she takes me, where she takes me
But I must be gone before daylight
Or the vision will escape me, it will escape me
Oh 'cause I can only see at night
When the others don't know where I have gone
When the streetlamps burn so bright
I will stand on rooftops and shout that siren's song
And I will run
While I'm still young
Oh far, so far away from here, from here, from here
And I will run downhill like water, water, water
Oh, I will run the hell away from here
Oh, and let us all go someplace
Where we that know we are wanted
And let me be the ghost by which
That bridge Albert was haunted lord
And let the waters under her be dark and deep
And let us sing
Oh, let us sing
