The train arrives as usual, and its 8:31
Its grey and cold and cloudy here, no colour and no sun
And I am going to a place, that I just don't wanna be
While my time on Earth just drains away in front of me
If I could run I would, but these shackles hold me back
If I could fly I would, but I'm just following these tracks
I put on my headphones, and I listen to a song
There's comfort in the words I hear, as I hum along
The train pulls into nowhere land, I stand to walk the mile
To the desert to waste my time for a while
If I could run I would, but these shackles hold me back
If I could fly I would, but I'm just following these tracks
Oh please set me free
Oh please set me free
A desk, a chair, a telephone, a window looking down
The same old faces everyday, the same old dreary town
And everyone feels trapped in here, I'm not the only one
But there's 8 more hours to get through, before the day is done
If I could run I would, but these shackles hold me back
If I could fly I would, but I'm just following these tracks
Oh please set me free
Oh please set me free
I leave the desert, 5pm, to catch another train
The streets are full of nameless people, trying to do the same
Seems I'm always travelling, and going nowhere fast
And I wonder how much longer this is gonna last
If I could run I would, but these shackles hold me back
If I could fly I would, but I'm just following these tracks
Oh please set me free
Oh please set me free
Oh please set me free
Oh please set me free
Oh won't you set me free.
