Missing Person Lyrics - Split Enz

Home to sweet home, it just occurred to me 

To be on my own, in search of bitter treats 

I get so removed but you never notice it 

Step in my shoes, you'll see that I don't fit 

I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray 

I'd like to be a missing person 

Eyes open wide, but all I see is black 

You thought I was alright just wait till you get back 

There'll be no one home and they'll stay up all night 

Everyone I know, I'm wishing you goodnight 

I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray 

I'd like to be a missing person 

I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways 

I'm wanted but I'm a missing person 

Missing person, missing person 

And I fly by night, fighting to get away 

On the neon lights I slip down alley ways 

Only safe and sound when silence brings a chill 

Now my back is turned, I know I can't stand still 

I walk home the wrong way, this time I'll go astray 

I like to be a missing person 

I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways 

I'm wanted, I'm a missing person 

Missing person, missing person, missing person
