i´m running away
i´ve got to get home
i´m lost in a crowd
but i´m still on my own
i´m looking ahead
so i´m staying behind
i´m not being cruel
i´m just being kind
i close my eyes
it´s no surprise
i´m always there
can´t count the times
i´ve tried to hide
and found nowhere

i´m trying to lay low
but i keep getting high
my feet on the ground
got my head in the sky
my eye on the future
that´s stuck in the past
i find i can´t lose
when i aim to come last

i realise
it´s no surprise
that nothing´s clear
that black is white
that day is night
and there is here

i´m right on the ball
but i´m missing the mark
i burn in the sun
i´m scared of the dark
got an ivory tower
with a bird´s eye view
got plenty of time
but nothing to do

the best disguise
it´s no surprise
is disappear
can´t count the times
i´ve tried to hide
and found nowhere

i´m running away
i´ve got to get home
i´m lost in a crowd
but i´m still on my own
i´m looking ahead
so i´m staying behind
i´m not being cruel
i´m just being kind

i realise
it´s no surprise
that nothing´s clear
that black is white
that day is night
and there is here

the best disguise
it´s no surprise
is disappear
can´t count the times
i´ve tried to hide
and found nowhere

i close my eyes
it´s no surprise
i´m always there
can´t count the times
i´ve tried to hide
and found nowhere

i realise
it´s no surprise
that nothing´s clear
that black is white
that day is night
and there is here

the best disguise
it´s no surprise
is disappear
can´t count the times
i´ve tried to hide
and found nowhere
