A Million Miles Away - Klaatu

They used to tell me I was just a fool

Dreamin' away my time

But they soon found the more they put me down

The more I blocked them from my mind

I used to get my teacher so uptight

He’d always have to ask his questions twice

I’d be a million miles away

Drifting through time and space

I was a million miles away from any place

A million miles away

I built a world of my own

A million miles away in parts unknown

I’d be gone

My end of term reports would always show

I did pretty well at school

But I kept them hid from all the other kids

I didn’t want to seem uncool

My homeroom teacher didn’t understand

The reason why I never raised my hand

I was a million miles away

In a world of my own

A million miles away to parts unknown

I’d be gone

A million miles away

I’ve flown across the galaxies

And been to Barkley Square

I’ve passed the time with Sophocles

And never left my chair

But I’m a million miles away

Drifting through time and space

I was a million miles away from any place

A million miles away

I built a world of my own

A million miles away in parts unknown

I’d be gone

I’d be gone

A million miles away
