Song | The Great Escape |
Artist | Marillion |
Album | Live At High Voltage Festival 2010 |
(music:marillion lyrics:steve hogarth & john helmer) | |
Heading for the great escape | |
Heading for the rave | |
Heading for the permanent holiday | |
Heading for the winter trip | |
Heading for the slide | |
Heading for the dignified walk away | |
Heading for the open road | |
Goodbye to all that | |
Heading for the automatic overload | |
Standing in the open boat | |
Standing in the swing | |
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light | |
Waiting to be recognised | |
Quiet applause will do | |
They shower you with flowers when they bury you | |
You're holding on, you're holding on ... | |
(i) the last of you | |
Just when i thought i'd seen the last of you | |
You come here scratchin' at my door | |
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark | |
Of every corridor i walk | |
So 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? | |
(ii) fallin' from the moon | |
Don't ask me why i'm doing this | |
You wouldn't understand | |
You're asking the wrong questions | |
You couldn't understand | |
A bridge is not a high place | |
The fifty-second floor | |
Icarus would know | |
A mountain isn't far to fall | |
When you've fallen from the moon | |
There's murder on the street | |
I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away | |
I have fallen, fallen from the moon |
