Hey, I heard it from the state

They told me you were never gonna let me get away

And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait

I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay

Hey, you try to compensate

For thinking with your one brain, I should decapitate

You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated

Both my eyes were weighted, and I had to get away

Talking to ears that have been deaf

For as long as I can remember

A self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself

And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear

That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb

Ya hate me, ya hate me, ya hate me

When I come through, you were dark blue

And I saved you, from your darker days

Born to, take care of you

Or I thought so, baby, it was just a phase

Hey, I heard it from the state

They told me you were never gonna let me get away

And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait

I had to get away, I had to get away, I had to get away

Hey, you try to compensate

For thinking with your one brain, I should decapitate

You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated

Both my eyes were weighted, and I had to get away

Shut down by a guy I never wanted to kiss

Not gonna hear the singing of his ringing triumphing

And I'm chugging along in a train

And I'm heading the wrong way, and I'm a trainwreck

And my heart goes beat, beat, beat

To the music of this sad same song

It's quite depressing, there's no fixing to the problem

When you're talking to an idiot

When I come through, you were dark blue

And I saved you, from your darker days

Born to, take care of you

Or I thought so, baby, it was just a phase

Saving, only made me

Just a dreamer, but I soon found out

That the traintracks were behind me

Tried to warn me, oh, but my ears went out

(But then my ears went out, out, out...)

When I come through, you were dark blue

And I saved you, from your darker days

Born to, take care of you

Or I thought so, baby, it was just a phase

Hey, I heard it from the state

They told me you were never gonna let me get away

And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait

I had to get away, I had to get away, I had to get away

Hey, you try to compensate

For thinking with your one brain, I should decapitate

You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated

Both my eyes were weighted, and I had to get away
