Hello darkness, come on in

Let me light a candle

Imaginations running

Hands start to tremble

Knows enough to know not to believe

Wha's real, and what it seems to be

Knows what's keeping him from being free

Right outside your door



Chorus:

Don't run away, red headed stepchild

I can only promise you won't find your way back home



In another room there's laughing

Entertaining strangers

Walls in there don't breathe no more

But they're keeping out some angels

Laughed so much, he almost cried

Stranger offers him a ride

City blocks roll on by

Never coming back



(chorus)



Take your pictures off my wall

I hate to look at strangers

Then it's burning be forewarned

Keep me out of danger

Knows enough to know not to believe

What is real, and what it seems to be

Knows what's keeping him from being free

Right outside your door



(chorus)



(chorus)

Find your way back home
