verse
There's a strange grown man in a creepy coat
In the bathroom mirror, he knocked me down to 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
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
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
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
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
