I don't feel safe in this world no more

I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an Apeman.

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

Gave away my possessions and moved into a Chevy
Van, yeah, that's the master plan
Drrrrrive into the woods and eat corn out the can!
Yeah, I gave it all away, the hard rock band
The groupies, the booze, the all-night jams
Now all these fans, askin', 'Where did he go?'
Meditatin' on a rock, lettin' go of the ego!"
