If I could lose
All my troubles
By running away
No, no I wouldn't stay
No I wouldn't

But they just keep on
Hangin' 'round me
And won't go away
No, no won't go away

It just ain't fair
No, no, no
It just ain't fair

This whole year
Has been a blunder
Yes I've lost my sense of wonder
And there are no sweet warm love birds to turn to
I have no one to call brother

On every street
In the city
Well you'll get afraid
Yes so afraid

You can't see
Past the surface
of plans that I made to drive you insane
Everywhere, everyday
You won't even want to find yourself a place to hide

And you'll be hurt so many times
You'll lose your love of nursery rhymes
Get the safest room you can find
And lock the door
Find yourself another country

If I could lose
All my troubles
By running away
No, no I wouldn't stay
No I wouldn't

But they just keep on
Hangin' 'round me
And won't go away
No, no won't go away
No they won't go away!

Well I know there must be someplace people
Someplace I can rest my weary head
'Cause you know I've been all over this country people
And it's the same, the same old thing
Everywhere I go
Don't you think I might find someplace to rest my weary head

Yea
