But those seagulls are still out of rach
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town
I head for the stick with my bus and friends
I follow a road though I don't know where it ends
Get outta town, I think I'll get outta town
Cos the world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
