The Great Escape Lyrics

(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
