Lyrics
I'd like a one-way ticket home, ticket home
I desire a one-way ticket to return home
Where I can watch television, talk on the telephone
Where I can engage in activities like watching television and talking on the telephone
But every town I wander there's a billboard on a throne
Every town I visit, there's a prominent advertisement or promotion
Ticket home
Expressing the desire for a ticket home (reiteration)
I want a ticket home
Reiterating the desire for a ticket home
Does anybody know my name, or recognize my face
Expressing uncertainty about personal recognition or identity
I must have come from somewhere, but I can't recall the place
Feeling disconnected, unable to remember the place of origin
they dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace
Recalling being abandoned at a performance without a trace
Ticket home
Expressing the desire for a ticket home (reiteration)
I want a ticket home
Reiterating the desire for a ticket home
Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning
Acknowledging Elvis Presley as the king and being present at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning
Feeling overwhelmed or in a crisis as life flashes before the eyes
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
Recalling a recent past event of boarding a plane
Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne
Describing a luxurious experience in the sky with champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Feeling like an exile, expressing a sense of alienation in various places
Ticket home
Expressing the desire for a ticket home (reiteration)
I want a ticket home
Reiterating the desire for a ticket home
Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning
Acknowledging Elvis Presley as the king and being present at his crowning (reiteration)
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning
Feeling overwhelmed or in a crisis as life flashes before the eyes (reiteration)
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
Recalling a recent past event of boarding a plane (reiteration)
Raping distance in the sky, while diving in champagne
Describing a luxurious experience in the sky with champagne (reiteration)
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Feeling like an exile, expressing a sense of alienation in various places (reiteration)
Ticket home
Expressing the desire for a ticket home (reiteration)
I want a ticket home
Reiterating the desire for a ticket home
