Let Me Flee

A Song for My Fellow Introverts

(To the tune of Let It Be)

When I find myself in Smalltalk City,
I am filled with ennui.
Voice within me whispers,
"Let me flee."

And in the hour of cocktails, 
I am trapped in strange perplexity. 
And the voice grows louder:
"Let me flee!"

"Let me flee, let me flee,
Let me flee, let me flee."
Yes, the voice grows louder,
"Let me flee!"

And when the extroverted people
Bear right down on top of me,
I am thinking only, 
"Let me flee."

The system is alerted;
I am feeling trapped and panicky.
Still the voice shouts louder,
"Let me flee!"

"Let me flee, let me flee,
Let me flee, let me flee."
Voice shouts ever louder,
"Let me flee!"

And when the hours are dragging
And I'm sagging existentially, 
I've just one obsession:
"Let me flee."

I hear the sound of desperation, 
Rising up inside of me.
Head is fucking pounding,
"Let me flee!"

"Let me flee, let me flee, 
Let me flee, let me flee."
My head is fucking pounding,
"Let me flee!"

"Let me flee, let me flee, 
let me flee, yeah, let me flee."
Voice shouts ever louder:
"Let me flee!"
