Running Away - The Residents

I was sitting on a bus when I saw myself today

Looking out the window, I was tedious and grey

The wind was blowing black and lonely leaves alone

An empty avenue, the diorama was all wrong

The other me was anxious, abandoned and alone

Looking at the limbo of a lost unknown

Nothing was near so I looked away

As the bus escaped into an empty day

Closing in around was the sound of disbelief

Closing in around was the nothingness of grief

Closing in around was the color of conceit

Closing in around was the odor of deceit

Closing in around was the emptiness of need

Closing in around was the meaningless of me

I was, I was

Running away!
