Oh, come away from the day, here I stay

Down metal snake, corridors, steely gray

Engines hum for nobody but me

Far in the deep sonar eyes never sleep
F/D Em/D | Dm Em/D | F/D Em/D |
Hiding like a shadow in the night

Jet planes nose through the clouds above me

They look for radar traces of me to see

No memory, tell me what's wrong with me
