Break Away
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.
And this world is just atoms, spinning slowly
Other people are shadows, lost and lonely
But they're giving us rules to follow
And they're giving us lies to swallow
Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
My car has got two seats
Let's break away tonight
You and me
And this world is an apple, rotting slowly
Other people are cattle, dying lonely
But they're giving us rules to follow
And they're giving us shit to swallow
Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
The planet's at our feet
Let's break away tonight
You and me
And this world is an apple, rotting slowly
Other people are cattle, dying lonely
Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
My car has got two seats
Let's break away tonight
You and me
Let's break away tonight
You and me
