Runnin' For An Earhole

And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the exit sign
to outside my mind
Everybody wants to talk
and I want peace
when I want to be alone
you call on me
and I'm tryin' to breathe
through Brillo pad lungs
when I want to go to sleep
that's when daylight comes
and I ain't ready for tomorrow
or is that today
you insisted that I borrow
then refused to let me pay
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the exit sign
to outside my mind
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the way
to that neon garden
where I used to play
When I'm looking for an answer
you confuse me everytime
when I get off of probation
you go and do a crime
and I'm tryin' to see
through extremely blurry vision
when I start not to care
you start thinking with precision
when I'm stallin' for time
why do I live so fast
and you're hoping for a future
livin' in the past
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the exit sign
to outside my mind
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the way
to that neon garden
where I used to play
All my childhood pictures
had sunny skies
and sparkling eyes
not being allowed to feel can kill
why do we let it get so real?
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the exit sign
to outside my mind
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
looking for the way
to that neon garden
where I used to play
I was just a kid
I was just a kid
were you there?
were you there?
hey, were you there?
were you there?
yeah
