There's a fat man who offers a change of scene. Says he'll guarantee my sheet will be clean when I get on the outside.
But who can you trust when the walls have ears. I'm for takin' a chance, like a drownin' man I'm going under.
I've got reds in my bed, I'm not easily led to the slaughter.
And while the cold war exists, I'll stay warm with the commissars daughter.
We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams, in a prison of steel.
He reminds me so much of the way I feel.
And we know that we're both in the danger zone.
Where the eyes of the world, full of shutters and bugs are upon us now.
I've got reds in my bed, I get blues looking out of my window.
And we're never alone, there's a tap on the phone and my pillow.
Let me go home (There's a girl in a distant land).
Let me go home (Who's nothing more than a memory).
She don't know that I'm gonna get free.
Let me go home (You're a land full of misery).
Let me go home (You're a cruel and a faceless race).
I don't like your philosophy, I don't like your philosophy.
