Time after time, you close your autonomic eyes
We’re guilty of dreaming, just wishful thinking
For a nuclear family and wife
Time after time, we believe their chemical lies
Dissolved by the feeling, on the surface I’m peeling
It all comes to light

Well hey now, listen to this
You tripped and you fell right into my magic spell
Hey now, did you hear this, I’ve been hypnotized as well
Only a true love's kiss can wake me from this hell

Oh, say it ain’t so
Give me one good reason to let it go, no no no
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know

Darling, let’s move slow
Let’s make the most of our time before we need to go (no no no)
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know
Taking back control
From the ones who say you’re never going home (going home)
Yeah, I know it’s sad but that’s how the story goes

You close your autonomic eyes
We’re guilty of dreaming, just wishful thinking
For a nuclear family and wife
Time after time, we believe their chemical lies
Dissolved by the feeling, on the surface I’m peeling
It all comes to light
In a city so dark and dim, we’ll remind them how to glow
Wind me up and watch me go, go
They say imitation is the humblest form of flattery
But not when your clones are powered by batteries
Do as I say and not as I do, ‘cus I plan to see this through
Oh, say it ain’t so

Give me one good reason to let it go, no no no
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know

Darling, let’s move slow
Let’s make the most of our time before we need to go (no no no)
We’re gonna make a break for it and tell them all we know
Taking back control
From the ones who say you’re never going home (going home)
Yeah, I know it’s sad but that’s how the story goes
