Well just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday 
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday 

Well I left a note saying I'll be gone for a long time, yeah a long, long time 
It's gonna take a lot to bring me back now 
I won't spend another day in this heart-attack city 
It's messed up here and everything's money 
Those well-heeled boys that think they're so funny 
I left a note saying I'll be gone  Buy 

Well just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday 
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday 

Well I told them all I wasn't coming back for a long time, yeah a long, long time 
Well everything's fad and as for the fame well everything's got it's 15 minutes 
I've no idea where it all went bad 
But I guess you can't tell until you get down in it 
I told them all I wasn't coming back 

Well maybe I'll go to France or maybe Spain 
'Cause the work that they do here is the kind that numbs my brain 
I need to get away and I'm never coming back 'cause my mind just turned off and my body's out of whack 
Va ¨C Ca ¨C Tion! 

Well just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday 
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday 

Just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday
