lyrics

Slam on the brakes there’s 10 foot truck
and it’s jack-knifed in the road
Happy the man who gets out on time
and is still speeding on to home
What should you do as the smoke fills up
and the door’s stuck,all alone allalone
It’s getting hot and It’s getting hot and it might explode
but I still rather be here on my own


Blow off all your bells and whistles
Pick the weeds and not the rose
Coz I feel more like being a weirdo
Blow yourself coz I am going home

Get out, get out there’s a big flash flood
and there’s water to my knees
I’ve been asleep in the sett too long,
now I can barely breathe
Shore up the walls but you’re still displeased
oh please stop badgering me
Get on my knees for a sweet escape
where I can be out, oh I can be free

Blow off all your bells and whistles
Pick the weeds and not the rose
Coz I feel more like being a weirdo
Blow yourself coz I am going home

Get out my head and I am on the run
