Oh long ago, there was a dead rat caught in a Chinese trap

And all I had to show, were the ashes of a life that had no chance

It wasn't right, but all I could do 

Was be another number that caught in the fuse

It was a lie, with nothing to lose

Something happened in 1982



Are you the enemy?

Let me show you what you did to me



Once I get away from here, I know it's gonna be my time

I've seen to much, to keep me here

I don't want yours, I just want mine



I'm never alone, I'm always in the middle talkin' to myself

And all I want to know, am I really on the road?

I just can't tell, it isn't right

But all I can do, is take it to a level where I can't refuse

It's a lie, I need you to see

Let me show you what you did to me



Once I get away from here, I know it's gonna be my time

I've seen to much, to keep me here

I don't want yours, I just want mine



Before I get away from here, I think I better set you straight

I know my place is miles from here, you'll never understand 

I make my fate



Deep down there's a devil inside

He can make you give up everything

Settle if you want to die

Or you can live for a world that must be free



Oh once I get away from here, I know it's gonna be my time

I've seen to much, to keep me here

I don't want yours, I just want mine



Before I get away from here, I think I better set you straight

I know my place is miles from here, you'll never understand 

I make my fate



Once I get away from here

Once I get away from here

I know it's gonna be my time
