[Instrumental Opening] [Verse 1] I’ve got to get away… From your crazy say, And anchors aweigh… As I wave goodbye, I hope to sail… Away… I stayed too long And I’ve got to get away, I’ve got to get away… So cats can meow And dogs will bark But your voice marks A different kind of play, And I’ll wave goodbye, As I hope to sail… Away… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] One thousand knots Gone to sea, From coast to sun, A lonely plea… To set me free… To get away, Away.. I stayed too long And now I’ve got to see… A different kind of day, Goodbye, To the old way, Of saying hello… Away… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] I tried again… Shot again, And I tried again… Shot again… Down, No matter where I go, It’s always the same… One voice is bubbling, Out the cesspit Of a thousand, All the same… And I’ll go away, Far away… But no matter where I go It’s always the same… But I’ll try again… Try again, And I’ll try again… Try again, Away… I see you waving… Away… Waving hello… Away… And I know… Away… I’m back home… [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] My life was tethered, To a hand-held chain, And I could go, Where no one knows, But my throat will gasp, As I am pulled… And I could leave, Out to sea… With nowhere to go, Right back home… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] And the Sun will fall As I watch inside, But Mr. Sun, Will never know… My essence is home Like doors on hinge Swinging to and fro, Yet to close… And I say my part Just as asked, And in my heart, I know I froze… The lash will burn, Like a hot summer day And no one knows The call of crows… So I’ll run away, Run away… Away… I’ve got to get away… Away… I’ve got to get away… Away… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] One thousand knots Gone to sea, From coast to sun, A lonely plea… To set me free… To get away, Away… I stayed too long And now I’ve got to see… A different kind of day, Goodbye, To the old way, Of saying hello… Away… [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] A house at sea, All alone… And I tried to change, On my own… But I went back home, And begged again… And the Sun will fall, And the man I am, And the scars will mark, … I wish I’d say… Anchors aweigh… Away… Away… [Instrumental Fade Out]
