You say you care for me
That means you don't
You tell me "open your eyes"
That means I won't
I keep them closed, baby
Closed, closer to my thoughts
I keep them safe inside me
Where they drown in sorrow
I take my heels off
And I run like no tomorrow
Run, baby, run
I'm at the bus stop
One pound fifty
Takes you anywhere you wanna go
Anywhere is fine
Where you can find me
I thought I had the right to be forgotten
Everywhere I go, you're right behind me
A bridge and under it, some water
Across it, the Houses of Parliament
In the river, I throw in my oyster
You say you care for me
That means you don't
You tell me "open your eyes"
That means I won't
I keep them closed, baby
Closed, closer to my thoughts
I keep them safe inside me
Where they drown in sorrow
I take my heels off
And I run like no tomorrow
Run, baby, run
I'm at the bus stop
One pound fifty
Takes you anywhere you wanna go
Anywhere is fine
Where you can find me
