Born in the troubled city
In rock and roll USA
In the shadow of the tallest building
I vowed I would break away
Listen to the Sunday actors
But all they would ever say
That you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away

Schooled on the city sidewalks
Coldness at every turn
Knew I had to find the exits
I never ever would return
Scoffed at the prophets omens
That said I would live to learn
That you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away

Goin' out 80 toward the west coast
Stopped in a sleepy town
Left my change and walked out
I didn't even turn around
What they were giving next turn
Was that old familiar sound
That you can't get away from
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away

In a hotel room in Amsterdam
On a wild and windy August night
As a cloud passed over a cold moon
My heart was seized with terror and fright
Seeping up through the floorboards （
Coming in through the walls
Coming in through the doorway
Winging up and down the halls...
That you can't get away from it （
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away
No you can't get away
No you can't get away...
