Let Me Out

If I seem happy
It's just because I was told to be
By someone more powerful than me

Last night I watched that cardboard skyline
For half an hour
Tried to think of another way out

I need a new identity
Something innovative, write it down
Put your best man on the job
I need it now
Let me out

And I've been everywhere
Or nowhere
Well...somewhere

And I have never seen the sun
Except through a lighting screen

I want a new identity, oh
Something new and different, write it down
I think I'm suffocating
I want it now
Let me out

And I have won acclaim
Perfect love
Naked fame

And I have watched it all
From the flashbulb glare
Of the carpet hall

It's white-paper identity, oh
Scripted, typed-up, screenplayed, written down
You gotta keep it coming
I need it now
Let me out
