Everywhere I go
The noise it follows
This city hangs me by my feet
All the luck I want
I have to borrow
Cuz dreamers bankrupt the streets
And we’re told to be behave
To relax
Be the perfect techno slaves
Stare at screens
Scratch our backs
Then hit snooze and repeat
I want to get away
Learn to breathe at my own pace
Get lost and not be found
Maybe somewhere southbound
Every night I sleep
To fill the quota
Great there goes the siren again
An emergency
Another hold up
Will this riot ever end
And we’re told to be brave
Make the pitch
Wait in rush hour all day
Never cheat
Get rich quick
Your face in magazines
I want to get away
Learn to breathe at my own pace
Get lost and not be found
Maybe somewhere southbound
I want to change my name
Rewrite my DNA
Uproot from this cold ground
Head out somewhere southbound
Maybe this is just a phase
A prelude to better days
Maybe this is a sign
To pack my bags
Leave it all behind
I want to get away
Learn to breathe at my own pace
Get lost and not be found
Maybe somewhere southbound
I want to change my name
Rewrite my DNA
Uproot from this cold ground
Head out somewhere southbound
Head out somewhere southbound
I’m headed somewhere southbound
Yeah yeah
