MIYAVI

Yeh, it's freakin' boring

There is nothing to get rollin'
Can't stop zoning out
All goin' same ol' blah blah

Even though in here we got everything but no freedom

Gimme more freedom
Dreamin' in this small kingdom

Gimme shelter

The watch is tickin'
Toy monkeys are diggin' lickin'
That freaky creapy play makin' me crazy dizzy

Feelin' like a doll in a shopwindow

I'm not here
I don't fuckin' belong here
I don't fuckin' belong here
I don't fuckin' belong here

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
To the unknown wonderland from this plastic world
Cryin' out in my heart

Get me out of control
Get me out of control
Get me out of control
Get me out of control
Get me out of control
Get me out of control

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
To the unknown wonderland from this plastic world
Cryin' out in my heart

So now, kick the door and scream to the world
