Catch Me If You Can Cast - Someone Else's Skin Lyrics

[FRANK ABAGNALE JR.]
There’s no phone booth
There’s no cape
There’s no Steve McQueen
To help me make my great escape

How can I fly
Like a hero in the sky?
Be a shooting star
Out in the stratosphere

Where’s the shadow?
He might know
Where’s that searchlight
In the sky to point the way to go?

Through some new cloud
To disappear into the crowd
Though the future’s dark
There’s one thing crystal clear

That there’s no home here

[JUDGE]
Son, listen to me. We just need a name. Your mother or your father?

[FRANK JR.]
So many voices telling me to choose

[JUDGE]
It can get very expensive, people fighting over their children

[FRANK JR.]
It’s like a game where either team, I lose

[PAULA]
Nobody’s fighting. Frankie, look at me, nobody’s fighting

[FRANK JR.]
This kind of noise just makes me want to shout

[FRANK SR.]
Frankie, just give him a name and this will all be over. It’s going to be okay

[FRANK JR.]
I’d like to buy a one-way ticket out

[PAULA]
My brave little soldier, do what you have to do

[FRANK JR.]
Rules of the road say don’t look back
Eyes straight ahead, don’t jump the track
Try a new game

[FRANK SR.]
I’m sorry, Frank

[FRANK JR.]
And pray that I can win

[FRANK SR.]
I’ve got no room to move, here

[FRANK JR.]
‘Cause I just don’t feel at home in mine
So I slip now
Into someone else’s skin

I see the maps from every book I’ve read
The worlds that I have lived inside my head
I thought a love like theirs could never die
If that can fade away, then so can I

At first you see me, then you don’t
Don’t look for me, you know I won’t
Even be there
So let the games begin

‘Cause I just don’t feel at home in mine
So I slip now
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin

I’m gonna run down the street
Run outta town
I’m gonna run from the home team
And never touch down

Run from the books ‘cause it’s all been a fake
I’m gonna run from the choices that I don’t wanna make
School’s not out, but I can’t wait
It’s the perfect time to graduate

Today
I’m gotta run away now
I’ve got to run away

I know they’ll see the truth when I move on
They’ll need each other much more once I’m gone
And then I’m flushed and he’s back on his feet
I’ll pick him up and ride down easy street

No time to cry for all the years
A musty gas tank full of tears
Gets you nowhere
Not the places I want in

‘Cause I just don’t feel at home in mine
So I slip now
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
Into someone else’s skin
