Lyrics
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.
you say they will get you anyway
cause they've got pretty tricks to make you stay
when all turns out to be unjust
then i'll turn back and help you out
but the two of us knew that the earth structure fitted so much better with the truth
and the sick little goings and so i have come just to check on your injuries and make believe that you're running out of time
and you can feel it
slightly moving
or even touching
so better burned down
the town hall, the corn fields
the tower blocks, the secret path as the main roads and skater parks
the bubling pools and dead end school yards
the train rides to any club nights
we fought too long just to stay alive
wishes
