A Million Miles Away Lyrics - Klaatu

They used to tell me that I was just a fool 

Dreaming away my time 

But they soon found the more they put me down 

The more I blocked them from my mind 

I used to get my teacher so uptight 

He'd always have to ask his questions twice 

I'd be a million miles away 

Drifting through time and space 

I was a million miles away from any place 

I was a million miles away 

In a world of my own 

A million miles away to parts unknown 

I'd be gone 

My end-of-term reports would always show 

I did pretty well at school 

But I kept them hid from all the other kids 

I didn't want to seem uncool 

My homeroom teacher didn't understand 

The reason why I never raised my hand 

I was a million miles away 

In a world of my own 

A million miles away in parts unknown 

I'd be gone 

I've flown across the galaxies 

And been to Berkeley Square 

I've passed the time with Sophocles 

But never left my chair 

But I'm a million miles away 

Drifting through time and space 

A million miles away from any place 

A million miles away 

I've built a world all my own 

A million miles away to parts unknown 

I'd be gone 

A million miles away
