lyrics

Take me Away

You never give me you love
You only give me a heart attack
You're a five day day end job
You're a river town with a railroad track

You tried suffocating me
You tried to make me feel like a fool
You're pitiful ragged parade
You're a factory town high school

So take me away
It's just too frightening to stay
Here in this place watching your
Dreams fade away without a trace

You tried your best come on
You gave me that back seat smile
You're a wicked seducer
You're a young romance gone wild

You tried to steal my heart
You tried to go too far
You're a fixed up chevyrolet
Outside of a neighborhood bar

So take me away
It's just too frightening to stay
Here in this place watching your
Dreams fade away without a trace

I was always thinking
Of making my dreams come true
I was a strange agent
I was never at all like you

You made my friends go mad
And you were cold to the tears I shed
You held so many memories
Now you're just a hole in my head
