Out of this town, out of this misery
Let's hitch a ride to higher ground
Now that I've come to know I've lost a thing
That I was sure of I had found
Leave my looks for the ladies
Leave all my records to the guys
I had too many of them anyway
That's what I've come to realise
Everyone knows
That's how it goes
Everyone sees it's here
Oh, I can't wait to hear you say
I was told to wise up all the time
I was young so I was told
Walk this world with me for a while
Oh, don't strangle me just hold me
Nail wings onto my arms
And watch me try to spread them
Nail wings onto my arms
And try to nail me down
Out of this town, out of this misery
Gonna hitch a ride to higher grounds
Now that I've come to know I've lost a thing
That I was sure of I had found
Everyone knows
That's how it goes
Everyone sees it's here
Oh, I can't wait to hear you say
That it's here to stay (x3)
Nail wings onto my arms
And watch me try to spread them
Nail wings onto my arms
And try to nail me down
Nail wings onto my arms
And watch me try to spread them
Nail wings onto my arms
And try to nail me down
