  • I don't smoke in the morning, can't get no sleep
    That's the time for thinking what's gonna be
    I had a good thing going but it didn't stay
    Don't make no plans anymore except to go away

    The table's set and now the guests will be here soon
    Lying for a living, I guess that's what I do

    You got to get me out of here
    I always heard that the world is wide
    There's a price you pay for a summer's day
    When you leave it all behind

    You got to get me out of here
    I see clear when I shut my eyes
    There's a place to go when the winter's cold
    Leave it all behind

    I can always find you like the sweet north star
    It doesn't really matter now where you are
    If you're in trouble I'm in trouble too
    I've fallen through a trap door into you

    No bones, no ghosts, I threw my passport in the trash
    I don't need my face now that the wind is at my back

    You got to get me out of here
    I always heard that the world is wide
    There's a price you pay for a summer's day
    When you leave it all behind

    You got to get me out of here
    I see clear when I shut my eyes
    There's a place to go when the winter's cold
    Leave it all behind

    Got to get me out of here
    Got to shut my eyes
    Got to get me out of here
    Leave it all behind

    Got to get me out of here
    Got to shut my eyes
    Got to get me out of here
    I know the world is wide
