The Great Escape Lyrics
The song The Great Escape is performed by Marillion .
Send The Great Escape Ringtone to your Cell
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 porch
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognized
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
You're holding on, you're holding on
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratching 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?
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the high cloud nine
Heaven number seven
Heading for the long goodbye
Uncurl the fingers that hold
Summon the strength to let go
Out of the tired world, out of the upset
Into the sunset
