I WANT TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY

The only present you can give me is time
'Cos there ain't no time like the present
The sound of necks creaking at the first nod
Wouldn't sound half as unpleasant
As the barely heeding, pure misreading,
Moustache-twirling skew
To keep them on our good side
With a red rose-tinted view

You're the only one who speaks my language
But I still can't talk to you
A life on the fence
Anger drowned by inoffence
Swimming deep into the blue

I wanna leave the country
I wanna run away
You're the "check later" sort
I'm the spectator sport
Just as good as received
Must be seen to be believed
I wanna leave the country
I wanna scale the map
You're the face to my name
Taking all but the blame
Elephants in the room
Don't wanna undress you

I've won your eye one thousand times
All that's left is your parent's pardon
And if the apple never falls too far from the tree
Then I'll chuck it across the garden

You're the only one who speaks my language
But I still can't talk to you
A life on the fence
I revolt in the future tense
With the red rose-tinted, the red-rose tinted

I wanna leave the country
I wanna run away
You're the "check later" sort
I'm the spectator sport
Just as good as received
Must be seen to be believed
I wanna leave the country
I wanna skip this gaff
You're the face to my name
Taking all but the blame
Elephants in the room
Don't wanna undress you

I wanna leave the country
I wanna run away
You're the "check later" sort
I'm the spectator sport
Just as good as received
Must be seen to be believed
I wanna leave the country
I've had e-fuckin'-nough
You're the face to my name
Taking all but the blame
Drama masks with no string
Love is one funny thing
Night to lose, day to seize
Try to run, but you freeze
Elephants in the room
Don't wanna undress you
