lyrics

ESCAPE FOR A WHILE

I used to say and I used to do
Faces and freedom and hands on your hearts
She said: “No-one can act and can see”
You want respect and you fall for love.

You be just like this and you be just like that
A rain in spring and the flowers to bloom
The rumours’ reflection and flourishin’ waste
You’re attainin’ attraction but where is yourself?

A two-faced indignity, an everyday breeze
The shape and the function and the price on request
A heavy weight load, but you’re not so strong!
Who’ll be something of a hero these days?

The gallery closed at 11 at night
The women got restless, the party was long
They showed inspiration, as they always have done
A well planned excitement and the boss to please.

In a prosperin’ college of liberal arts
Professors will lecture, can you understand?
A student has fallen and a girl analyzed
Opinions disguised in search of the truth.

Late show is running, you better be fast!
A stumblin’ clown and a high degree host
Who turns to be closer to the nearest screen?
And who’ll be the winner in the self-portray scene?

I said, what’s going on and what is so new?
You screamed for help, bewildered by ambition
In fact, you surprised me with your walkin’ away
But nothing remained and nothing will change.

Chorus:
The path is so long, the river is deep
But soon you’ll be changing the side
The curtains are falling, the audience is gone
I think I’ll escape for a while.
