Home to sweet home,
it just occured to me
to be on my own,
in search of bitter treats
i get so removed
but you never notice it
step in my shoes,
you'll see that i don't fit
I walk home,
the wrong way,
hoping i'll go astray
i'd like to be a missing person
Eyes open wide,
but all i see is black
you thought i was alright
just wait til you get back
there'll be no-one home
and they'll stay up all night
everyone i know,
i'm wishing you goodnight
I walk home,
the wrong way,
hoping i'll go astray
i'd like to be a missing person
i wander the highways,
asleep in your doorways
i'm wanted but i'm a missing person
(missing person)
(missing person)
And i fly by night,
fighting to get away
on the neon lights
i slip down alley ways
only safe and sound when silence brings a chill
now my back is turned,
i know i can't stand still
I walk home the wrong way,
this time i'll go astray
i like to be a missing person
i wander the highways,
asleep in your doorways
i'm wanted but i'm a missing person
Missing person,
missing person,
missing person...
