[Verse 1]
Oh, long ago
There was a dead rat caught in a Chinese trap
And all I had to show
Were the ashes of a life that had no chance
It wasn't right, but all I could do
Was be another number that couldn't refuse
And what a lie, with nothing to lose
Something happened in 1982

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you the enemy?
Let me show you what you did to me

[Chorus]
Once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen too much to keep me here
I don't want yours; I just want mine

[Verse 2]
I'm never alone...
I'm always in the middle talking to myself
And all I want to know...
Am I really on the road? I just can't tell
It isn't right, but all I can do
Is take it to a level where I can't refuse
It's a lie—I need you to see
Let me show you what you did to me

[Chorus]
Once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen too much to keep me here
I don't want yours; I just want mine
Before I get away from here
I think I better set you straight
I know my place is miles from here
You'll never understand—I make my fate

[Bridge]
Deep down, there's a devil inside
He can make you give up everything
Settle if you want to die
Or you can live for a world that must be free

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen too much to keep me here
I don't want yours; I just want mine
Before I get away from here
I think I better set you straight
I know my place is miles from here
You'll never understand, I make my fate

[Outro]
Once I get away from here...
Oh, once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
