Getaway Lyrics

Gotta make my getaway
Gotta make it today
Gonna leave it all behind
Gonna make my escape
Way up high where the eagle flies
In the sky, I will rise
Over canyon and countryside
I will fly, I will fly
Late at night when the stars are bright
I will shine, I will shine
Sail away into outer space
In my mind, in my mind
On the back of a shooting star
I will ride, I will ride
To a future not very far

And so bright, and so bright
There’s a feeling I can’t escape
I can’t hide it, what’s inside
It’s leading me to another place
And a time where it’s all right
Working day is a grind on me
Nine to five, nine to five
These walls are closing in on me
Getting buried alive
Gonna run down to the sea
And I’ll dive, and I’ll dive
Let the waves wash over me
I’m alive, so alive
Standing out in the pouring rain
I know I’m not insane
I don’t wanna feel no pain
I just let it wash away
Gotta make my getaway
Gotta make it today
Gonna leave it all behind
Gonna make my escape today.
