The Great Escape

Why in hell I wandered into this gathering
Of narcissistic cannibals?
Spicing you with lies, oh so flattering
Getting close to eat you whole
Fake politics and modern art and
Boutique hippie protocols
But I saw my counterpart
Leaning bored against the wall
Cigarette on her lips, swift roll of the eyes
Darling we’ve got to flee from this party
Before they set their eyes on us
I'm pretty sure they won’t be able to harm me
If we just leave in a cloud of dust
From her spot she nodded, curved her index finger two times
As I met her she spoke: We must hurry
I think they’ve got a sniff of our scent!
Took my hand and she said: Don’t you worry
Soon we’ll break free from their detent.
In came the pedantic drooling
With cue cards up their sleeves
Big smiles that were made for fooling
And for showing the teeth
We just look at each other, stared deep inside our minds
Darling we’ve got to flee from this party
Before they set their eyes on us
I'm pretty sure they won’t be able to harm me
If we just leave in a cloud of dust
Sneak past our captors, run to the exit light
She gets me going
She gets me going
She gets me going all night
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going
She gets me going
She gets me
