The Great Escape
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.
Juxtaposition is a predisposition
Of a pacifist movement suppressing the argumentative
Why can't you see me now?
'Cause I am made of stone
And it feels as though I'm lost in the catacombs
I've got nowhere to go
Should I seek refuge in the nearest hostel home?
And they could call it the great
The great escape of the world
And I don't need diamonds and pearls
Just to vanish off the face of the earth
Is there any life on Mars?
Or I'll be arriving first?
Will I be arriving first?
So now I'm lost in space
I've spent a lifetime
Trying to find my place
But I've had no luck of late
I've had to abandon
The human race once more
Gravity feels like a forgotten force to me
Gravity feels like a forgotten force to
And they could call it the great
The great escape of the world
And I don't need diamonds and pearls
Just to vanish off the face of the earth
Is there any life on Mars?
Or I'll be arriving first?
Oh, I could make my return
Back to the planet earth
All I've got to do is pray
That time's been put in reverse
Love bombs fall from the sky
Can we give peace a try?
Love bombs fall from the sky
Oh, John Lennon shouldn't have died
Oh, I, oh
Can we give love a try?
John Lennon shouldn't have died
