Song Description
Everyone wants to escape their small town, everyone thinks they're a fish out of water or a man out of time.
But sometimes the last place you want to be is the place where you belong the most.
This one has a Police meets U2 meets Weezer vibe.

Lyrics
I was looking for any kind of way out,
I've been planning my escape since the day that I was born,
I took a map, threw a dart, and hit a target.
Anywhere but here was a better place to be for me.
I am the puzzle that is missing lots of pieces,
I am the paint by numbers that don't all add up.
I am the Christmas gift with batteries not included,
I am the greatest book you ever read whose ending sucks.
I said that I was coming back as a big shot,
when I found more of my kind,
I promised I would have a laugh at the townies,
the poor bastards left behind.
I left town like a prison break,
Anywhere was better than this place,
I thought I was a rolling stone,
When I went out to the Twilight Zone,
But in the end there's no place like home.
There must be some kind of error in the geography,
I'll never grow old in this locality,
I'm Buck in the 25th century,
I felt like Dorothy, but don't call me Dorothy.
I always felt like I belonged in the 70s.
or with Churchill or even DaVinci,
but the further I run from this proximity,
The bigger the hole gets inside of me.
I'm still the puzzle that is missing lots of pieces,
but I'm not lonely anymore.
We're all expatriates confused by our coordinates,
The cosmic refugees who washed up on this shore.
I left town like a prison break,
Anywhere was better than this place,
I thought I was a rolling stone,
When I went out to the Twilight Zone,
I left town like a prison break,
Anywhere was better than this place,
I thought I was a rolling stone,
When I went out to the Twilight Zone,
But in the end there's no place like home.
No place like home.
No place like home.
No place like home.
