The Great Escape Lyrics by Nelson

The Great Escape

[look up] theres no man on the moon tonight
Guess hes turned his back on me [once again]
The wicked walls of this dead-end town are closing in and I cant breathe
[sail away] down the river of shattered dreams;
My destinys disguised [but I will find it]
Empty promises flow my way, adrift in shame; do you feel the same?

[chorus]
Another time, another place we wont be prisoners of fate
Somehow, well find a way to get out of here
Oh, why dont we make the great escape and set our sites on higher ground?
Were taking the ride all the way to the other side

[step inside] see the man with the cracked guitar
Selling tales of sonic gray [the skies are falling]
No one gathers to sympathize or pay tribute to his fading flame
Tattoo girl on a butterfly
Sowing seeds of boundless hope [and devotion]
Follow me through a leap of faith; I know the way, I heard her say

Chorus

Bridge:
I know why you cry
Just let go; its easy if you try

Out chorus:
Another time, another place we wont be prisoners of fate
Somehow, well find a way to get out of here
Oh, why dont we make the great escape and set our sites on higher ground?
Were taking the ride all the way to the other side. whoa, yeah!
Weve got to make the great escape and leave behind what cant be saved
Were taking the ride all the way to the other side

Dont look back, dont look back...
Come on, come on, come on and take my hand.
Whoa! sail away!
Do you feel the same like I do?
Dont look back
