lyrics
Take me away, take me away,
Baby, take me far away from here.
Away from the cars, the buses and trains
The walking wounded and their hateful gaze
The radio blast, the junkie's moan,
And all the concrete demons that devour your hope.
Do you feel it too, all washed up and used?
Like you're wasted your breath on your point of view?
Because nobody listens, nobody wants to.
Nobody listens, nobody wants to.
Well you cut through the crowd and how dare I describe
Words like freedom and passion that I found on the inside?
I stood by your fire and you let me
Your body screamed and your eyes were alive
And you said, "take me away, take me away, baby take me far away from here".
You looked at me with them big eyes and I fell.
Did you get what you wanted, son of mine?
Are you still trapped in your lonely mind?
Are you waiting forever for a chance to seize the day?
You'll throw it all away.
And you won't be welcome on your old stomping ground,
And you won't be welcome...
So shut it boy.
Take me away, take me away, take me far away from here
And you looked at me with them big eyes and I fell.
Baby, take me far away from here.
Away from the cars, the buses and trains
The walking wounded and their hateful gaze
The radio blast, the junkie's moan,
And all the concrete demons that devour your hope.
Do you feel it too, all washed up and used?
Like you're wasted your breath on your point of view?
Because nobody listens, nobody wants to.
Nobody listens, nobody wants to.
Well you cut through the crowd and how dare I describe
Words like freedom and passion that I found on the inside?
I stood by your fire and you let me
Your body screamed and your eyes were alive
And you said, "take me away, take me away, baby take me far away from here".
You looked at me with them big eyes and I fell.
Did you get what you wanted, son of mine?
Are you still trapped in your lonely mind?
Are you waiting forever for a chance to seize the day?
You'll throw it all away.
And you won't be welcome on your old stomping ground,
And you won't be welcome...
So shut it boy.
Take me away, take me away, take me far away from here
And you looked at me with them big eyes and I fell.
