I sold my soul to an angel
while the devil looked on and laughed
I didn't even see the danger
until the point of no return was passed
now I'm sitting at the bottom of the hole I dug
staring up at the sky
and I wish I was up there over the clouds
flying in one of those aeroplanes passing by
aeroplanes passing by
because the only place that I want to be
the only place that's right for me
the only place that I want to be
is somewhere else
now I'm singing the song of how it all went wrong
and the rain keeps pouring down
been hanging round too long where I don't belong
can't get my feet back on the ground
I thought I'd see my name in neon lights
and drive in a fancy car
but now I'm living hand to mouth
and there are times my hand can't even reach that far
can't even reach that far
and the only place that I want to be
the only place that's right for me
the only place that I want to be
is somewhere else
