escaping
pain and pity
i lit out
for the city
and ran
away from home
sometimes a body
gotta roam
I just wanted to be free
Thought I had to make a mark
But this city ain’t for me
Flying home in the dark
enchanted
by the light
i didn’t foresee
an endless night
had enough of
snow and ice
going back where
folks are nice
Won’t you please deliver me
From all the jackals and the sharks
Lord knows this city ain’t for me
Flying home in the dark
