Born in the troubled city

In rock and roll USA

In the shadow of the tallest building

I vowed I would break away

Listen to the Sunday actors

But all they would ever say

That you can't get away from it

No you can't get away

No you can't get away from it

No you can't get away

Schooled on the city sidewalks

Coldness at every turn

Knew I had to find the exits

I never ever would return

Scoffed at the prophets omens

That said I would live to learn

That you can't get away from it

No you can't get away

No you can't get away from it

No you can't get away

Goin' out 80 toward the west coast

Stopped in a sleepy town

Left my change and walked out

I didn't even turn around

What they were giving next turn

Was that old familiar sound

That you can't get away from

No you can't get away

No you can't get away from it

No you can't get away

In a hotel room in Amsterdam

On a wild and windy August night

As a cloud passed over a cold moon

My heart was seized with terror and fright

Seeping up through the floorboards （

Coming in through the walls

Coming in through the doorway

Winging up and down the halls...

That you can't get away from it （

No you can't get away

No you can't get away from it

No you can't get away

No you can't get away

No you can't get away

No you can't get away...
