Runaway

This place can blow my mind
But i come here every time
I little left of undefined
But running on alkaline
It looked good from far away
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
I couldn't help but disobey
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
I felt like a runaway
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Every reason not to stay
(Could it be, could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Its where the wild ones go
(She's about to kill me)
Yeah, pretty hard to overthrow
(She's about to kill me)
Not much that's left of me
(She's about to kill me)
Is this who I want to be?
(She's about to kill me)
It looked good from far away
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Made it hard to disobey
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
I felt like a runaway
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Came every reason not to stay
(Could it be, could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Watching how they do it
Learning every move
Dressing up like Elvis
But don't know how to groove
Well telling me about music
And just what I should do
But rats in mazes bats in cages
Don't make kitchen stew
Not for you
She's about to kill me
She's about to kill me
She's about to kill me
She's about to kill me
It looked good from far away
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
I couldn't never help but disobey
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
I felt like a runaway
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Every reason not to stay
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Every reason not to stay
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
Every reason not to stay
(Could it be, could it be, could it be my life?)
