The Breakout - John Mellencamp
Written by John Mellencamp and George Green Kenny Aronoff - Drums and Percussion John Mellencamp - Vocals Andy York - Guitars, Backing Vocals, Bass Guitar Mike Wanchic - Backing Vocals Why do I think there's nobody out there? No one who wants me and no one who knows. I wait in this place, no one can see me. After all this time could I be so alone? I walk through this old town and still feel lonely. The wind plays sad songs high in the trees. The sun never shines this deep in the forest. Am I in the darkness or is the darkness in me? I wanna break I wanna break out I wanna break I wanna break out I want to taste the tears of a lover Warm as my blood, as wet as a kiss. But it's only dark rain that falls in this old town. Old as my memory and as cold as my lips. I wanna break I wanna break out I don't wanna fake it I want to break out And when I feel lonely And when I feel lonely You fly me to the sun Above this old town From the top of the tower I forget about living, I forget about pain. At the edge of the platform, At the edge of a heartbeat, Above this old town I flew away. I wanna break I wanna break out I don't wanna fake it I want to break out I wanna break I wanna break out I want to break I want to break out
