Hey, I Heard It From The State
They Told Me You Were Never Gonna Let Me Get Away
And If You Took Me Fishing You Would Never Give Me Bait
I Had To Get Away, I Had To Get Away, Ay, Ay

Hey, You Try To Compensate
For Thinking With Your One Brain, I Should Decapitate
You Showed Me All Your Letters That I Should've Confiscated
Both My Eyes Were Weighted, And I Had To Get Away

Talking To Ears That Have Been Deaf
For As Long As I Can Remember
A Self-medicated Handicap, So I Speak To Myself
And I Try So Hard To Get His Stupid Deaf Ears To Hear
That I've Become Illiterate, I've Become Dumb
Ya Hate Me, Ya Hate Me, Ya Hate Me

When I Come Through, You Were Dark Blue
And I Saved You, From Your Darker Days
Born To, Take Care Of You
Or I Thought So, Baby, It Was Just A Phase

Hey, I Heard It From The State
They Told Me You Were Never Gonna Let Me Get Away
And If You Took Me Fishing You Would Never Give Me Bait
I Had To Get Away, I Had To Get Away, I Had To Get Away

Hey, You Try To Compensate
For Thinking With Your One Brain, I Should Decapitate
You Showed Me All Your Letters That I Should've Confiscated
Both My Eyes Were Weighted, And I Had To Get Away

Shut Down By A Guy I Never Wanted To Kiss
Not Gonna Hear The Singing Of His Ringing Triumphing
And I'm Chugging Along In A Train
And I'm Heading The Wrong Way, And I'm A Trainwreck

And My Heart Goes Beat, Beat, Beat
To The Music Of This Sad Same Song
It's Quite Depressing, There's No Fixing To The Problem
When You're Talking To An Idiot

When I Come Through, You Were Dark Blue
And I Saved You, From Your Darker Days
Born To, Take Care Of You
Or I Thought So, Baby, It Was Just A Phase
Saving, Only Made Me
Just A Dreamer, But I Soon Found Out
That The Traintracks Were Behind Me
Tried To Warn Me, Oh, But My Ears Went Out

(But Then My Ears Went Out, Out, Out...)

When I Come Through, You Were Dark Blue
And I Saved You, From Your Darker Days
Born To, Take Care Of You
Or I Thought So, Baby, It Was Just A Phase

Hey, I Heard It From The State
They Told Me You Were Never Gonna Let Me Get Away
And If You Took Me Fishing You Would Never Give Me Bait
I Had To Get Away, I Had To Get Away, I Had To Get Away

Hey, You Try To Compensate
For Thinking With Your One Brain, I Should Decapitate
You Showed Me All Your Letters That I Should've Confiscated
Both My Eyes Were Weighted, And I Had To Get Away
