Out on my own
I'm taking photographs
No one will see
And I won't remember them
Many years from now
They'll confuse historians
'Cause they've got no names
'Cause they've got no prominence

Well you can paint out the sky
You can turn night into day
You can sleep as long as you like
But you can't make the world go away
No, you can't make the world go away

You look diseased
And you're barely twenty-one
Ten years from now
You'll be dead to everything
I can see it all
Like I've seen it all before
One day you'll wake up
And you won't know who you arе

Well you can paint out the sky
You can turn night into day
You can sleep as long as you like
But you can't makе the world go away
And everything that you do
Every word that you say
You try as hard as you can
But you can't make the world go away
You just can't make the world go away
You just can't make the world go away
No, you can't make the world go away
