I could be foreign forever To your otherland I could be foreign forevermore To your promiseland One life was great but another No, I don't want to live on the edge I won't follow you, I found my own I will stay I could be foreign forever To your hasteland I could be foreign forevermore To your neverland One little brick then another And I will build that wall anyway You can find me there, rested and calm Without mask This is where I will stay Look around where we are, who we are What we always want Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five Sometimes little more I was chasing your shadow Not knowing I'd become your slave I could be foreign forever To your otherland I could be foreign forevermore To your promiseland One life was great but another No, I don't want to live on the edge I won't follow you, I found my own I will stay I could stay forevermore I've said a farewell To never-ending smiles I did not look good in red From my place I can finally See how much Of this shade I called Myself Was me And what was left behind I could be foreign forever To your otherland I could be foreign forevermore To your promiseland One life was great but another No, I don't want to live on the edge I won't follow you, I found my own I will stay I could stay forevermore I've said a farewell To never-ending smiles From my place I can finally see How much of this shade Was me And what was left behind
