Won’t Be Long Songtext
von The Hives

No bright lights, no big city
Went to my head
So I won′t stick around
No, I'm getting out instead

′Cause, I can't find a thing and get It done
Raise my heart and ring my ears
So, I won't stick around, In this town
That′s true, u-u-uh

′Cause I won't and I can′t
And I don't understand
You become what you hate
Or you hate what you become?

Got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin'
Got me a ticket and I won't be long
′Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin' away


So I make my way through the quagmire
Of boomers glorifying their youth
And all the peacocks in this city
So if I may be excused

′Cause I won't and I can′t
And I don't, understand
You become, what you hate
Or you hate, what you become?

Got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can't go on and I gotta get goin′
Got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin'

Got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin'
Got me a ticket and I won't be long
′Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin' away

Well, I won′t be around for the good times
Won't be around for the bad
And I won′t stick around in this town
No, I'm getting out instead
Yeah, yeah, yeah


And I won′t and I can't
And I live 'cause I can
And I won′t be back again

Well, I got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin'
Got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin'

Got me a ticket and I won't be long
′Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin'
Got me a ticket and I won′t be long
'Cause I can′t go on and I gotta get goin' away

And I gotta get goin′ away
'Cause I gotta get goin' away
Gotta get goin′ away
