Lyrics

You had a slick operation

You had a well-executed plan or scheme.

'Till she was taken to the station.

Until she was apprehended by the authorities.

They booked her on where she scored.

She was arrested for the location where she obtained drugs.

She broke down and your name poured.

Under pressure, she revealed your name to the authorities.

Down the highway you soared.

You quickly fled down the highway.

Na na na, na na na.

Repetitive vocalization, possibly expressing frustration or disbelief.


What do you do, I ask you?

Raising a question about your actions and decisions.

They're after you, I tell you.

There are authorities pursuing you.

You're going to go it alone.

You must face the challenges on your own.

You know that you have to leave home.

A realization that leaving home is necessary.

(repeat)

Repetition for emphasis.


2000 miles to the sea,

A significant distance of 2000 miles to the sea.

Under light with nobody.

In solitude, without companionship.

Strangest faces everywhere.

Encountering unfamiliar and strange faces everywhere.

Medicating your despair,

Using substances to cope with inner pain.

Feeling that no one cares.

Feeling a sense of abandonment or neglect from others.

Na na na, na na na.

Repetitive vocalization, possibly expressing frustration or disbelief.


Sometimes plans go as planned,

Acknowledging that plans don't always succeed.

And you beat the odds stacked against you.

Overcoming challenges against the odds.

Its a miserable life that you've made,

Reflecting on a miserable life that has been created.

And the paranoia you have to get used to.

Adapting to the constant anxiety and distrust.

But they've got better things to do,

Others have more important matters than pursuing you.

Than to come and look for you.

Suggesting that authorities may not actively search for you.

But then again maybe not.

However, there is uncertainty about this assumption.

It'll drive you crazy.

The situation can lead to mental distress.


Now its been about a year

A considerable amount of time has passed.

You'd return but for the fear.

Fear prevents your return despite the elapsed time.

Sometimes people get away.

Occasionally, people successfully escape from similar situations.

Still it haunts you till this day,

The memories of the past events continue to haunt you.

Feeling they've gone away.

A belief that those pursuing you have disappeared.

Na na na, na na na.

Repetitive vocalization, possibly expressing frustration or disbelief.
