Song Description

An upbeat song about the pain of procrastination and escapism.

Lyrics

I like to read about the dragons and the goblins
And the elves and the hobbits and that war that they fought in
Don't want to think about the terrorist bombings
Or the miserable state that our economy is in

Carry me, oh, carry me away
Stop the world! I'd like to get off and just take a holiday
It's all too much and I can't deal with it today
Help me escape...

I like superman and all those superheroes.
He saves lives wherever he goes. But I don't do anything
I like to watch those reality TV shows. No reality for me, no, think I'll skip the real thing

So carry on as you were. Don't wake me up
No, don't shake me up. Leave me here now
And when the last minute comes and the panic sets in
Well, we'll just have to deal with things somehow

So I'm going to scroll and click and twiddle my thumbs as I stare at this two inch screen
I can't be bothered to deal with all the things that need sorting, no, not too keen

Carry me, oh, carry me away
I'm passing time, procrastinating, finding pointless games to play
It's all too much and I can't deal with it today
Help me escape...

Don't talk to me about mass deforestation or overpopulation or climate change
When I haven't even made the slightest preparation for my will or my pension or impending middle age

Help me escape! Help me escape!
