Getaway

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.
