[Verse 1]
Help me out, I need escape
It's the truth, I got to go
With all the boys in the back alley
And all my girls in the superstore
Because we need electricity
City lights gotta glow for me
Oh I'm more than a car park queen
So get your shit now, we got to roll

[Chorus]
Let's blow out of this town
Too bored, hanging around
Sky high, head in the clouds
Never gonna come down
Drums, bass, turn 'em up loud
Free fall, spinning around
Sky high, head in the clouds
Never gonna come down

[Verse 2]
Take the car and cut the brakes
Driving out into the dark
Even though I love mum and dad
I wanna swim out there with the sharks
I wanna learn to speak Japanese
Razor-sharp on the silver screen
We were made for a limousine
So get your shit now and come with me

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Blowing bubbles out in the grass
All tangled in the stars, getting faded in the back seat
You can be hanging with us
We used to walk around the backstreets
Swimming pools with no heat
Fuck a dream, I want it for real
Always make it look so easy, moving to the city
Take a little sip of surreal
We're much more than nothing, yeah, we're all just trying to be who we feel

[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing cake up in the air, we don't care, no
Surfing on a silver wave, wanna let go
We're so bored of being here, we don't care, no
I wanna run, be wild and free, and with my friends standing next to me

[Chorus]

[Outro] (x2)
Hey!
Oo-ah-ah
Oo-ah-ah
Hanging a-
Hanging a-
Hey!
Oo-ah-ah
Oo-ah-ah
Hanging a-
Hanging around

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
