Can you dig it? There's something in the air tonight Got a one way ticket, baby don't you wanna ride? Got to make it, make it to the other side I've got demons snapping at my heels tonight I just want to run away, turn me loose Got people around running me down, I can't stay I just want to get away, I just want to get away now Get them off my back today Can you feel it? I'm stuck inside in a hurricane Chasing rainbows, can't you see I'm going insane? I wanna be a free man but I'm spinning on this crazy wheel I'm jumping for the high bar, can't you dig it? No longer know what I feel, can't you see? I just want to run away, turn me loose Got people around running me down, I can't stay I just want to get away, I just want to get away now Get them off my back today I just wanna run away Turn me loose, turn me loose Turn me loose, turn me loose Got to make it, got to make it Got to break it, got to make it I just want to run away, I just want to run away Got people around running me down I can't stay Can't stay no more no I just want to get away, I just got to get away Get them off my back today I just want to run away I just want to get away Turn me loose, run away run away Got people around running me down I can't stay Runnin' away, runnin' away I just want to run away Just got to get away Turn me loose, run away Get them off my back today
