lyrics

V1: Why are these people always pulling at me?
Why can’t they just leave me be?
They’re always whining & draggin’ me down
Their voices mix in a grating sound
They are so needy--always needing more
I give & give ‘til life’s just a chore
I want to run; I want to escape
Can’t take much more ‘cause my nerves are frayed!

PC1: I get so tired and frustrated
When I get overstimulated!

Chorus:
I gotta get away from this rat race
I gotta get away from this fast pace
I gotta get away--am I trapped in a cage?
Gotta get away before I break!

V2: I need some quiet just to clear my head
I’m always anxious & full of dread
I need a bit of time alone
So I’m chill when my wife gets home
Sometimes I steal away so I can pray
The Lord helps me to find my way
I seek His peace for my weary soul
To lift me up when life takes it’s toll.

PC2:
Call me anti-social or a little spacy
It’s what I need to keep from going crazy!
