Now there's rust on the razor I've done my time,
I've paid my debt
Maybe I'm leaving to remember Maybe I'm leaving to forget
Somehow I got lost in the traffic Barked down in someone else's war
Somehow this place just lost its magic I don't believe it anymore
Oh,
well I'll leave in London With a penny in my chest
You don't know you got wings till you put them to the test
I thought my luck would last forever
How could that star ever burn out?
So many things I took for granted I gotta learn to live without
I did my best,
I fought the good fight There's some battles you can't win
Here in the shadow of the street I feel like my skin is getting thin
Well, I'll leave in London With a
penny in my chest
You don't know you got wings till you put them to the test
The future's not the way I planned
it The present's not the way it seems
You can spend a lifetime waiting Playing catch up with your dreams
All those days pile up behind me One day I stopped counting the years
By the time the morning finds me I'll be a world away from here
Well, I'll leave in London With a
penny in my chest
You don't know you got wings till you put them to the test
I'll leave in London With a
penny in my chest
You don't know you got wings till you put them to the test
I know I gotta go
I can't stay here so I'll leave in London
With a
penny in my chest You don't know you got wings till you put
them to the test I'll leave in London With a
penny in my chest
You don't know you got wings till you put them to the test
