[Verse 1]

There's a strange grown man in a creepy coat

In the bathroom mirror, knock me down on the floor

I don't know him, I don't know him



[Verse 2]

There's an aging man with a narrow face

He's been following me around for days

I don't know him, I don't know him



[Pre-Chorus]

My, the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating

Oh, my the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating



[Chorus 1]

I thought I'd have a nice house, to blow my brains out

Or a fast car, to run from danger

My own place, where I could get away



[Verse 3]

There's a strange grown man with a few grey hairs

In my own twin bed, I don't think he belongs there

No, I don't



[Pre-Chorus]

My, the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating

Oh, my the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating



[Chorus 1]

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away



[Chorus 2]

I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away



[Bridge]

Hey now, hey now, hey now

We go, away now, away now, away now

We can, escape now, escape now, escape now

We can, escape now, escape now, escape now



[Chorus 1]

I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away



[Chorus 2]

I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight

Or a fast car to run from danger

My own place where I could get away
