Lately i´ve been making plans to make my way out 
Fingernails are growing short, there ain´t no doubt 
Everybody wants another part of my wings 
I gotta keep you out, shut you out so i plug them in 
I got my headphones 
Me and my headphones 
Radio is killing me and tv´s a bore 
All i want today is something i can ignore 
I got my headphones 
Me and my headphones 
I gotta let go 
I need my... 
Come and hear me, gotta listen 
Turn it up for my final transmission 
Come and hear me, gotta listen 
Watch me go, I´m a man on a mission 
Do you read me? Are you out there? 
Gonna run and make my way outta here 
Come and hear me, gotta listen 
Gotta listen - Are you listening 
So this just in: my broadcast ends 
But this ain´t good-bye, this is good luck, my friends 
I got my headphones 
Me and my headphones 
I get my batteries, get my tapes, get my player 
I get up, I get going and I´m getting better 
I need my headphones 
Me and my headphones 
I get my batteries, get my tapes, get my player 
I get up, I get going and I´m getting better 
Come and hear me, gotta listen 
Turn it up for my final transmission 
Come and hear me, gotta listen 
Watch me go, I´m a man on a mission 
Do you read me? Are you out there? 
Gonna run and make my way outta here 
Come and hear me, gotta listen 
Gotta listen - Are you listening (to me)? 
(She kissed me in New York City 
She held my hand in Tokyo 
She walked me down to Leicester Square 
And she found me passed out in Soho 
She showed me round in Dublin 
She even followed me to Rome 
She kept me warm in Warsaw 
And she always guided me back home 
She´s as good as it gets, she´s as good as it gets) 
Can you hear me? Are you listening? 
Turn it up for my final transmission 
Can you hear me? Are you listening? 
Watch me go, I´m a man on a mission 
Do you read me? Are you out there? 
Gotta run and make my way outta here 
Can you hear me? Are you listening? 
Are you listening? Are you listening?
