“Please, come and fly away with me to a place where we can be anyone we wanna be.” 🗻
I was strummin on the corner, about to catch the last train home.
I’ll have to jump the barriers.
Could you spare a penny for my thoughts?
I’ve been praised upon the pavements, passers by don’t pay much, chased away by neighbours.
I’ve seen things you couldnt make up.
If the streets could talk they’d tell a story or two. I’ll paint a picture for you.
I can tell you what it feels like, to lose your home on a cold night.
Can you see the blood in my red eyes? Have another took, well forget life.
So come on fly away with me to a place where we could be anyone we wanna be. And we can bottle up our fears, grow a taste so sweet, knock us off our feet and more.
Burn our troubles, inhale them all. Paint our future on a fractured wall.
So come on fly away with me to a place where we can be anyone we wanna be.
Still in the station when I wake up. I missed the last train home. Jump back over the barriers. No ones got a penny for my flaws.
Imma sleep upon the pavement. Passers by don’t say much. Tutted at by strangers.
Dreamt things you’d never dream of.
If these streets could talk they’d tell a story or two.
As the cars roll by under the street lights, theres only one way I can forget life…
These streets i’m walking, they started talking to me. Can’t you see?
There’s only one way outta here. We have to face the things we fear! We can be anyone we wanna be!

It’s not exactly the same text as in the original Song. It’s written in the way the skull could think about life.
