I can finish work and get the bus home

Go down the pub, for a couple of pints

Turn on the TV with my remote control

But I just can’t escape from myself

 

I just can’t escape from myself

I just can’t escape from myself

I try and I try and I try and I try

but I can’t get away from this terrible guy

 

I could go to bed with a dozen girls

 if I could find 12 willing girls

I could eat a whole Black Forest gâteau

But I just can’t escape from myself

 

I just can’t escape from myself

I just can’t escape from myself

I try and I try and I try and I try

but I can’t get away from this awful guy

 

I ‘d take a trip to my granny’s house

But she’s buried in the ground

I know one day I’ll go down there

But til then, I’m stuck right here

With my own self

 

I took a long walk down a short pier

I put white powder in my beer

I stripped my ego down to the bone

but I couldn’t get away from myself

 

I just can’t escape from myself

I just can’t escape from myself

I still can’t escape from myself

I can’t get away from myself

I know I’ll never get away from myself

Because I can’t get away from myself

I never will escape from myself

Because I just can’t escape from myself
