Escape

(album: X-Periment - 1984)

I needed the money, so
I got a day job
Life as a chain gang, I'm
Working too hard
I can see freedom, but
I'm stuck on the inside
Monday through Friday, I'm
Playing this nine-to-five

You can free yourself
You can overcome pain
You can save yourself
From the pouring rain

I can't wait!
'Til I'm making my escape

Stuck in these four walls
Feeling like a prisoner
I got up the courage, I
Try for a new start
I get away, I'm
Heading for the good times
Life is a shop
When there's happiness on the line

You can free yourself
You can overcome pain
You can save yourself
Get on the night train

I can't wait!
'Til I'm making my escape

I can't wait!
I can't wait!
I can't wait!

Stuck in these four walls
Feeling like a prisoner
I got up the courage, I
Try for a new start

(You got to be right!)
You can free yourself
You can overcome pain
(You've got to make your escape)
You can save yourself
Get on the night train
(You've got to make your escape)
I can't wait! (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
'Til I'm making my escape

You can free yourself
You can overcome pain
(You've got to make your escape)
You can save yourself
Get on the night train
(You've got to make)
