lyrics

Big city, big smoke, big apple, big life
Big reputation but not as big as mine
All in all you've got to get out while you can this time
People running people pushing to get past me
Everybodys in a rush to get home
I cant hear a thing. Hands up on my ears
Try and drown it out

Up above all I see are lights
Neon skies are far too bright
Take me off in a little spaceships back home
Up above all I see are lights
Neon skies are far too bright
Take me off in a little spaceship back home
I don't think that I belong

Big ego, big dreams, big ambition, big lies
Big reputation but half as big as mine
Please, Please, Please don't ever make another one of these
Cameras flashing, taxis screeching, police sirens
Keep the tourists on the edge of their seats
Exaggerate the truth so they will never know whats really going on

Run Away! Run away from the city!
Run Away! Run Away!

Up above all I see are lights
Neon skies are far too bright
Take me off in a little spaceships back home
Up above all I see are lights
Neon skies are far too bright
Take me off in a little spaceship,
Take me off in a runaway train
Take me off in a little black car cos I don't belong
