| Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
|
| Pack yourself a favorite blouse
|
| Take a withdrawal slip, take all of your savings out
|
| 'Cause if we don't leave this town
|
| We might never make it out
|
| I was not born to drown, baby come on
|
| Forget what Father Brennan said
|
| We were not born in sin
|
| Leave a note on your bed
|
| Let your mother know you're safe
|
| And by the time she wakes
|
| We'll have driven through the state
|
| We'll have driven through the night
|
| Baby, come on
|
| If the Sun don't shine on me today
|
| And if the subways flood and bridges break
|
| Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
|
| Or will you rail against your dying day?
|
| And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky
|
| How do you pay the rent, is it your parents
|
| Or is it hard work dear
|
| Holding the atmosphere
|
| I don't wanna live like that |
