Lyrics:

Written by Mark Wright

 

On a dirty little corner in a dirty little town

Sits an old fortune teller for a nickle and a crown

Behind a dusty red curtain on a grey plastic chair

The teller leans forward and whispers in my ear

 

"You've got a one way ticket and you've got to get away

You've got a one way ticket leaving today"

 

When I was a kid, maybe three or four

This strange old figure came knocking at my door

He said he was my angel but i couldn't be sure

'Cause he left years later and never came back

 

He had a one way ticket and he had to get away

He had a one way ticket leaving today

 

I'm sorry but i've got to go i've got to say goodbye

We'll meet again maybe somewhere along the way

But 'till then...

 

Now i'm a little older a little wiser too

Well maybe not so much but i know what i could lose

And i ain't gonna win staring at these walls

'Cause my brain is itching and the world it calls

 

I've got a one way ticket and i've got to get away

I've got a one way ticket leaving today

I've got a one way ticket and i've got to get away

I've got a one way ticket leaving today...
