lyrics

G G7 Em
I'd like to go, go out of here
I'm not alone, no, no-one wants to hear
That their deeply ingenuous plans are commonplace

INTERVAL
G G7 Em

VERSE 2
Catch a train, then a bus
The officer causes a fuss
Because my youth transport card is out of date

CHORUS
I need an adult one, now that I'm of age
Like everything else, I'll leave growing up too late

INTERVAL
G G7 Em x4

VERSE 3
I'm trying to be interested in things
things indicative of my personality, things cohesive with your personality
My deeply held beliefs are commonplace
Cast a spell then a rock
Out my window, no good luck when the glass shatters in my brain

CHORUS
The thing is I'm not rotting at a rate
Faster than anyone else, tis the nature of the race
Demons consider the possession of my body,
and consider it a waste

INSTRUMENTAL
G G7 Em x2
G G7 Em x7

VERSE 5 - SPOKEN WORD
I've heard there's a way around this
Age as a process nowadays is pretty useless
But I do what I think and I think what I do
This seems to work for a few
Two dollars extra to board the light rail
Seems excessive when I take up the same space
Physically at least I haven't changed a bit
Since I was twelve…ish
So how would I go on not changing
For as long as I live until I die?
The way around these transport fines
Is to become a vampire

VERSE 7
Turns out you can get a transport card
It's one step above concession
Just threaten possession you'll be okay

VERSE 8
I need an underworld one, now that I've turned
That girl at the turnstile looked at me strangely I'm sure

OUTRO
G G7 Em
Go, go out of here (Go, go out of here)
Go, go out of here (Go, go out of here)
Through the atmosphere (Go, go out of here)
Down to the night-o-sphere (Go, go out of here)
Go, go out of here (Go, go out of here)
Go, go out of here
