To Find New Ways Out Of Town

John Ralston


On the way back to school
Where the bell will ring
Before I take my seat

I press Cross
Waiting for
Electrical
Lights to turn on

You call me a boy
But I do what I like
Smoking cigarettes
Up on the roof at night
Climing out my window
Riding on my bike
To find new ways out of town

How can I explain myself
There are things out there
That make me stop and stare

My Ex-Dad
In his front yard
In a suit and tie
Making angels in the snow

You call me a boy
But I do what I like
Smoking cigarettes
Up on the roof at night
Climing out my window
Riding on my bike
To find new ways out of town

It's gonna be hard
To put on a brave face
When all I wanna do is run and hide

It's gonna be hard
To put on a brave face
When all I wanna do is run and hide

Don't look down
Don't look down.
