Travelling Shoes

Young man, feeling old,
Looking with scorn at the tasteless, feeling bored,
Wearing his PJs at the hippie cafe
Everybody stares at him that way
Skateboard, council park,
Gets a little scary after dark,
There's nothing to do, it feels like there is only two sane people
and they're leaving soon.
It's a town of perfect isolation,
Holding her close though you don't really want her,
He's got those magical blues,
He's bought his travelling shoes.
He's got a unique style
and he's been yearning for a while,
He knows he's got to go away (away)
He gazes at the sky
A night departure passes by
He knows he's got to go away.
He sees an afternoon on fire:
hayfever season.
He sees made-up girls in Hondas
with Glassons tees on.
At the swimming pools and malls there's black big jeans and flirting,
aggression's in the air.
He'll give them this time but he doesn't want to share it,
Wants to be anywhere but here.
In a town of perfect isolation,
Holding her close though you don't really want her,
He's got those magical blues,
He's bought his travelling shoes.
He's got a unique style
and he's been yearning for a while,
He knows he's got to go away (away)
He gazes at the sky
A night departure passes by
He knows he's got to go away.
