The Great Escape

Heading for the great escape

Heading for the rave

Heading for the permanent holidayHeading for the winter trip

Heading for the slide

Heading for the dignified, walk awayHeading for the open road

Goodbye to all that

Heading for the automatic overloadStanding in the open porch

Standing in the swing

Waiting for the ringing and the bright lightWaiting to be recognized

Quiet applause will do

They shower you with flowers when they bury youYou're holding on, you're holding onJust when I thought I'd seen the last of you

You come here scratching at my door

Your pain and anger's in the howling dark

Of every corridor I walkSo tell me more about the love that you rejected

Tell me more about the trust you disrespected

I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one

Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?Heading for the great escape

Heading for the rave

Heading for the permanent holidayHeading for the high cloud nine

Heaven number seven

Heading for the long goodbyeUncurl the fingers that hold

Summon the strength to let go

Out of the tired world, out of the upset

Into the sunset
