[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 wasnt right, but all I could do Was be another number that couldnt refuse And what a lie, with nothing to lose Something happened in 1982 [PreChorus] Are you the enemy? Let me show you what you did to me [Chorus] Once I get away from here I know its gonna be my time Ive seen too much to keep me here I dont want yours I just want mine [Verse 2] Im never alone... Im always in the middle talking to myself And all I want to know... Am I really on the road? I just cant tell It isnt right, but all I can do Is take it to a level where I cant refuse Its a lieI need you to see Let me show you what you did to me [Chorus] Once I get away from here I know its gonna be my time Ive seen too much to keep me here I dont 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 Youll never understandI make my fate [Bridge] Deep down, theres 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 its gonna be my time Ive seen too much to keep me here I dont 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 Youll never understand, I make my fate [Outro] Once I get away from here... Oh, once I get away from here I know its gonna be my time
