The Getaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All of my
Thoughts descend
Wait for me
Up around the bend
Sitting on a wire
Hiding on display
Waiting for the night
As I destroy the day
Where am I?
Don’t wait around
The getaway
The getaway
Been around a bit-
I see you there
Coming after me
Made you for a pair
Sitting on a wire
Hiding on display
Waiting for the night
As I destroy the day
Run away from me-
I would
The getaway
The getaway
All of my
Thoughts descend
Wait for me
Up around the bend
