Lyrics
It's freezing in Kensington County
I'm cold but the air smells like the sea
You said you don't want to see me again
But that's ok because I'd rather be free
The sun is bleeding red on the horizon
I guess pollution makes it look that way
Sometimes when I think of you now
I realize pollution's here to stay
Chorus:
And the world is turning round
As I look beyond the glass
Bit by bit I find
That I'm outliving my past
You could never see things the way that I did
You just want whatever comes your way
I came along but now I'm bolting for the hills
And I know I'll live to see a brighter day
Chorus
Bridge:
And once again it's that time of year
But there's nothing left to hold me here
Now the telephone is ringing in the parlor
But you know I won't pick up for you know who
I'll just let it ring and ring and ring
Cause I'm not here and I won't get back to you
No I'm not here and I'll never get back to you
