[Verse 1]
There's a strange grown man in a creepy coat
In the bathroom mirror, he knocked me down on the floor
I don't know him, I don't know him
There's an aging man with a narrow face
He's been following me around for days
I don't know him, never met him

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)
Oh, the days repeating (I was on standby)
Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)
Oh, the days repeating

[Chorus]
I thought I'd have a nice house, to blow my brains out
Or a fast car, to run from danger
My own place, where I could get away

[Verse 2]
There's a strange grown man with a few gray hairs
In my own twin bed, I don't think he belongs there
No, I don't

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)
Oh, the days repeating (I was on standby)
Oh, my pulse kept beating (I was on standby)
Oh, the days repeating
[Chorus]
I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away
I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Hey now, hey now, hey now
We run away now, away now, away now
We can escape now, escape now, escape now
We can escape now, escape now, escape now, escape now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
We run away now, away now, away now
We can escape now, escape now, escape now
We can escape now, escape now, escape now

[Chorus]
I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away
I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place (To run from danger, my own place)
To run from danger, my own place
