Write It on Your Skin
Take everything you know and write it on your skin
Then you can carry on and forget everything
Take everything you own and put it in your car
You can drive away, drive away so far
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
But you've got all you know written on your skin
So you can carry on and forget everything

All the things I'd rather be
All the things I'd rather be

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave

Take everything you know and write it on your skin
Then you can carry on and forget everything
Take everything you own and put it in your car
You can drive away, drive away so far
Then drive into a lake and take off all your clothes
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
But you've got all you know written on your skin
So you can carry on and forget everything

All the things I'd rather be
All the things I'd rather be
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave

Life feels like a music box
I'm spinning 'round slowly and I can't get off, and
Life feels like a music box
I'm spinning 'round slowly and I can't get off
(Let's start again)
Life feels like a music box (start again)
I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
(Let's start again)
Life feels like a music box (start again)
I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
