You never needed anyone   You never loved companion   Solitary swimming against the tide   Uh uh uh      You never left your neighbourhood   But always dreamt of hollywood   Now you feel that empty hole inside   And nowhere you can hide      On awayayaydays   A stranger lost in paradise   On awaydays ohohoh   On awayayaydays   You're dancing on the drifting ice   On awaydays   On awaydays      It's only when you're far away   That you remember why you stayed   It's only when you're lost you truly find   Uh uh uh      It's only when you taste success   You notice that your life's a mess   All the wealth and fame was in your mind   How could you be so blind?       On awayayaydays   A stranger lost in paradise   On awaydays ohohoh   On awayayaydays   Pleasure is a lonely vice   On awaydays   On awaydays      Instrumental      Everything is slipping   Out of mind and out of hand   And there's something lost and missing   And you just can't understand   Oh you'll never understand
