I'm so sick of you so sick of me I don't want to be with you I'm so sick of you so sick of me I don't want to be with you I want to fly away I want to fly away I'm so sick of work so sick of play I don't need another day I'm so sick of work so sick of play I don't need another day I need to fly away I need to fly away Every shiny toy That at first brings you joy Will always start to cloy and annoy Every camera every phone All the music that you own Won't change the fact you're all alone (All alone!) Every piece of land every city that you plan will crumble into tiny grains of sand Every thing you find that at first gives you shine always turns into the same old crime (Same old crime!) I want to fly away I want to fly away I need to fly away I need to fly away (I'm so sick of you so sick of me I don't want to be with you) (I'm so sick of you so sick of me I don't want to be with you) Every little dance Every hidden back romance All alone (All alone!)
