Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I picked up my belongings
In a nylon carry-all
Hear the porter call
He said, "The sky's the limit
On this chartered trip away"
Guess I'd better stay
[Verse 2]
Out there on the desert
I see trees on every wall
Nothing's ever solved
He said, "The sky's the limit
On this chartered trip away"
I guess I'd better stay
[Chorus]
I thought I owed myself a trip away
I wanted to go to places I have never been, away
I looked at the pictures, imagine where they lay, away
On a beach by the sand, where their clothes all lay away
Place where
[Verse 3]
I picked up my belongings
In a nylon carry-all
Hear the porter call
Horizon is oblivious
Chartered trip away
Guess I'd better stay
[Verse 4]
Out there on the desert
I see trees on every wall
Nothing's ever solved
Horizon is oblivious
Chartered trip away
Guess I better stay away
[Chorus]
I wanted to go to places far, far
To go to places I have never been, away
I looked at the pictures, imagine where they lay
On a beach by the sand, where their clothes all lay away, away
[Verse 5]
I picked up my belongings
Nylon carry-on
Hear the porter call
Said, "There's no returning
This chartered trip away"
I guess I'd better stay
[Verse 6]
Said, "There's no returning
Chartered trip away"
Said, "There's no returning
Chartered trip away"
Said, "There's no returning
On this chartered trip away"
Said, "No returning"
[Outro]
Said, "There's no returning
Chartered trip away
Said, "There's no returning
On this chartered trip away"
Said, "There's no returning
On this chartered trip away"
