Get Out While You Can

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.

I've been working all night watching them empty out

Invisible to this crowd, always double vision

I've been losing my mind listening to broken speech

Stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture

And I hear your voice as it echoes round my head

Always that same thing that you said

Get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the nights slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand

So get out, get out while you still can

As I'm sweeping up glass, I see the exit lights so green

There's people falling into the street

Something comes together

I've been here too long and if I stay, they'll tie me down

I know this chance won't hang around, so I'm gone forever

And I hear your voice as it echoes round my head

Always that same thing that you said

So get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the nights slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand

So get out, get out while you still can

Packing up my suitcase racing down forgotten street

Making my tracks along the cracks in the concrete

Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet

If you find me you will find me on the run

For all the bleeding hearts pushing round their shopping carts

I have seen the greener grass, I have seen the faster cars

And I don't need your happy hours

I don't need your lonely bars

I'm ejecting like a bullet from a gun

So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand

Steady on the staircase, come and chase the master plan

The long awaited getaway, play it like a grand slam

This is no encore, we have only just begun

So get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the nights slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand

So get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh (until the end)
