A Million Miles Away

They used to tell me that I was just a fool Dreaming away my time But they soon found the more they put me down The more I blocked them from my mind I used to get my teacher so uptight He'd always have to ask his questions twice I'd be a million miles away Drifting through time and space I was a million miles away from any place I was a million miles away In a world of my own A million miles away to parts unknown I'd be gone My end-of-term reports would always show I did pretty well at school But I kept them hid from all the other kids I didn't want to seem uncool My homeroom teacher didn't understand The reason why I never raised my hand I was a million miles away In a world of my own A million miles away in parts unknown I'd be gone I've flown across the galaxies And been to Berkeley Square I've pa*sed the time with Sophocles But never left my chair But I'm a million miles away Drifting through time and space A million miles away from any place A million miles away I've built a world all my own A million miles away to parts unknown I'd be gone A million miles away
