Missing Person

Split Enz

Home to sweet home,

It just occured to me

To be on my own,

In search of bitter treats

I get so removed

But you never notice it

Step in my shoes,

You'll see that I don't fit



I walk home,

The wrong way,

Hoping I'll go astray

I'd like to be a missing person



Eyes open wide,

But all I see is black

You thought I was alright

Just wait til you get back

There'll be no-one home

And they'll stay up all night

Everyone I know,

I'm wishing you goodnight



I walk home,

The wrong way,

Hoping I'll go astray

I'd like to be a missing person

I wander the highways,

Asleep in your doorways

I'm wanted but I'm a missing person



(Missing Person)

(Missing Person)



And I fly by night,

Fighting to get away

On the neon lights

I slip down alley ways

Only safe and sound when silence brings a chill

Now my back is turned,

I know I can't stand still



I walk home the wrong way,

This time I'll go astray

I like to be a missing person

I wander the highways,

Asleep in your doorways

I'm wanted but I'm a missing person



Missing person,

missing person,

missing person...
