The Great Escape (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

ft. Azure Ray

I’ll use a lock that has no key
Aren’t you in chains
That no one else can see

Let the water creep over your face
I’ll send it in waves
Just to watch you perform the great escape

How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape

I’ll pull your arms tight behind you back
Use myself as weight
And wonder while you fade

How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape

The Great Escape (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(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

The Great Escape (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(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

Why don’t we give it a try,

Everybody’s waiting to see.

If i’m calling you

Or if you’re calling me.

It’s the same, oh why can’t they see.

At night i look to the stars,

And chart out a course out for mars.

I could take you there

Or you could take me here

It’s a game, oh why can’t they see.

1st chorus

Let’s make the great escape

And get out of this place.

Straight to outer space

Where we can be alone, yeah.

I look myself in the eye

And ask myself why.

I could take you here

And you could take me there.

It’s the same, oh why can’t they see.

2nd chorus

Let’s make the great escape

And get out of this place

Let’s make the great escape

And get on out of this place.

Straight to outer space

Where we can be alone

Straight to outer space

Where we can have a home
