[Verse 1]

They call me fanatic, they call me absurd

The people are plastic out there in the world

I live in asylums, I'm caught in a trap

Won't you free me from my bones?

I'm melodramatic, how lucky is that?

[Pre-Chorus]

Kill me softly, make me scream

Call me crazy, set me free

Everything I wanna be

Kill me softly, make me scream

Call me crazy, set me free

Everything I'll ever need

Say you'll die for me

[Chorus]

I was dreaming of blue skies in California

While you were loading your gun

Thе time has come

Red and bluе lights chase us across the border

Forever out on the run

I was dreaming of blue skies in California

While you were loading your gun

Screaming, "Run, baby, run"

We have to go on

Our escape is only seconds away

[Verse 2]

They call me erratic, they call me disturbed

A love that is tragic for better or worse

I live in the violence, I'm caught in a trap

Won't you free me from my bones?

I live in a panic, I'm happy with that

[Chorus]

I was dreaming of blue skies in California

While you were loading your gun

The time has come

Red and blue lights chase us across the border

Forever out on the run

I was dreaming of blue skies in California

While you were loading your gun

Screaming run, baby, run

We have to go on

Our escape is only seconds away

[Pre-Chorus]

Kill me softly, make me scream

Call me crazy, set me free

Everything I want to be

Kill me softly, make me scream

Call me crazy, set me free

Everything I'll ever need

Say you'll die for me

[Chorus]

I was dreaming of blue skies in California

While you were loading your gun

The time has come

Red and blue lights chase us across the border

Forever out on the run

I was dreaming of blue skies in California

While you were loading your gun

Screaming run, baby, run

We have to go on

Our escape is only seconds away
