A Million Miles Away Lyrics by Klaatu

Magentalane

1981

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I’ve flown across the galaxies
And been to Barkley Square
I’ve passed the time with Sophocles
And never left my chair
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
(A million miles away, a million miles away)
(A million miles away) A million miles away
(A million miles away, a million miles away)
(A million miles away) A million miles away
(A million miles away, a million miles away)
(A million miles away) A million miles away
(A million miles away, a million miles away)
(A million miles away)...
