[Verse 1]
Poor boy dreams of a brighter place to stay
Comes from the walls and he wonders what your name is
Lays in the dirt with his face to the sky
Smiles at the sun and watches as they fly by

[Chorus]
"Where you goin'?" they say. "On a holiday?"
Watching bellies of the planes as they fly away
No coins of gold, no money in the bank
As long as I dream, I can still escape
I can still escape

[Verse 2]
Raised by the wolves and the guns of the night
It's either this or the spoon if you wanna take flight
So he decides to live without the bright lights
But he watches the sun and smiles as they fly by

[Chorus]
"Where you goin'?" they say. "On a holiday?"
Watching bellies of the planes as they fly away
No coins of gold, no money in the bank
As long as I dream, I can still escape
I can still escape
[Verse 3]
Poor boy dreams with his arms held high
Flies over fields lost in his mind's eye
Lays in the dirt with his face to the sky
Smiles at the sun and watches as they fly by

[Chorus]
"Where you goin'?" they say. "On a holiday?"
Watching bellies of the planes as they fly away
No coins of gold, no money in the bank
As long as I dream, I can still escape
I can still escape
(Oooooh)
(Oooooh)
