Missing Person Songtext
von Split Enz

Home to sweet home, it just occurred 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 till 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

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'd like to be a missing home

I wander the highways
Asleep in your doorways
I'm wanted, but I′m a missing person
