[Verse 1]

There's a strange grown man in a creepy coat

In the bathroom mirror, he knocked me down on the floor

I don't know him, I don't know him

There's an aging man with a narrow face

He's been following me around for days

I don't know him, never met him

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)

Oh, the days repeating (I was on standby)

Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)

Oh, the days repeating

[Chorus]

I thought I'd have a nice house, to blow my brains out

Or a fast car, to run from danger

My own place, where I could get away

[Verse 2]

There's a strange grown man with a few gray hairs

In my own twin bed, I don't think he belongs there

No, I don't

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)

Oh, the days repeating (I was on standby)

Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)

Oh, the days repeating

[Chorus]

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away

I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Hey now, hey now, hey now

We run away now, away now, away now

We can escape now, escape now, escape now

We can escape now, escape now, escape now, escape now

Hey now, hey now, hey now

We run away now, away now, away now

We can escape now, escape now, escape now

We can escape now, escape now, escape now

[Chorus]

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away

I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place (To run from danger, my own place)

To run from danger, my own place
