Gotta get outta here
A man who feels the space begins to need the wall
Gotta be others near
Maybe, someone fills the space behind the fault
Maybe, not at all
Maybe, not at all

Baby, a man gets wise to runnin' 'round in circles
He ain't got no choice
Only the fool survives
Runnin' 'round in circles tryin' to make some noise
He's got no choice
He's got no choice

While I learned to live without face
And learned to feed my soul
I can learn the chords to right plays
Hang on to my own

[keyboard solo]

I gotta find a place I see in a dream
Who knows which way the dice will fall
I got a mind to face
And maybe, I can find my place behind the wall
Maybe, not at all
Maybe, not at all

But I gotta get out of here
There's gotta be others near
And I gotta find a place
Somewhere without a race
'Cause I gotta know it all
Don't wanna be alone
There's somewhere I wanna be
There's something I really see
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
