There's no phone booth
There's no cape
There's no Steve McQueen
To help me make my great escape
How can I fly
Like a hero in the sky?
Be a shooting star
Out in the stratosphere
Where's the shadow?
He might know
Where's that searchlight
In the sky to point the way to go?
Through some new cloud
To disappear into the crowd
Though the future's dark
There's one thing crystal clear
That there's no home here
Son, listen to me. We just need a name. Your mother or your father?
So many voices telling me to choose
It can get very expensive, people fighting over their children
It's like a game where either team, I lose
Nobody's fighting. Frankie, look at me, nobody's fighting
This kind of noise just makes me want to shout
Frankie, just give him a name and this will all be over. It's going to be okay
I'd like to buy a one-way ticket out
My brave little soldier, do what you have to do
Rules of the road say don't look back
Eyes straight ahead, don't jump the track
Try a new game
I'm sorry, Frank
And pray that I can win
I've got no room to move, here
'Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I slip now
Into someone else's skin
I see the maps from every book I've read
The worlds that I have lived inside my head
I thought a love like theirs could never die
If that can fade away, then so can I
At first you see me, then you don't
Don't look for me, you know I won't
Even be there
So let the games begin
'Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I slip now
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
I'm gonna run down the street
Run outta town
I'm gonna run from the home team
And never touch down
Run from the books 'cause it's all been a fake
I'm gonna run from the choices that I don't wanna make
School's not out, but I can't wait
It's the perfect time to graduate
Today
I'm gotta run away now
I've got to run away
I know they'll see the truth when I move on
They'll need each other much more once I'm gone
And then I'm flushed and he's back on his feet
I'll pick him up and ride down easy street
No time to cry for all the years
A musty gas tank full of tears
Gets you nowhere
Not the places I want in
'Cause I just don't feel at home in mine
So I slip now
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
Into someone else's skin
