Phil Ochs
One Way Ticket Home (East Lansing Live Version)
[Intro][Partial/Cuts in]
There's a billboard on a throne
Ticket home! I want a ticket home!
Ticket home! I want a ticket home!

[Verse 1]
Does anybody know my name or recognize my face?
Must have come from somewhere but I can't recall the place
Dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace
Ticket home! I want a ticket home!

[Hook]
The Golden Idol is the king, I was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the skies while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Ticket home! I want a ticket home!

[Hook]
The Golden Idol is the king, I was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the skies while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Ticket home! I want a ticket home!
Ticket home! I want a ticket home!
