Nelson The Great Escape Lyrics

There's no man on the moon tonight
Guess he's turned his back on me
(Once again)
The wicked walls of this dead-end town
Are closing in and I can't breathe, oh

(Sail away)
Down the river of shattered dreams, my destiny's disguised
(But I will find it)
Empty promises flow my way
Adrift in shame, do you feel the same?

Another time, another place, we won't be prisoners of fate
Somehow, we'll find a way to get out of here
Oh, why don't we make the great escape
And set our sights on higher ground?
We're taking the ride all the way to the other side

(Step inside)
See the man with the cracked guitar
Selling tales of sonic gray
(The skies are falling)
No one gathers to sympathize or pay tribute to his fading flame

Tattoo girl on a butterfly sowing seeds of boundless hope
(And devotion)
Follow me through a leap of faith
I know the way, I heard her say

Another time, another place, we won't be prisoners of fate Somehow, we'll find a way to get out of here
Oh, why don't we make the great escape
And set our sights on higher ground?
We're taking the ride all the way to the other side

I know why you cry
Just let go, it's easy if you try

Find a way, ooh

Do you feel the same, do you feel the same?
Another time, another place we won't be prisoners of fate
Somehow, we'll find a way to get out of here
Oh, why don't we make the great escape
And set our sights on higher ground?
We're taking the ride all the way to the other side, oh yeah

We've got to make the great escape
And leave behind what can't be saved
We're taking the ride all the way to the other side, oh

(Don't look back)
Come on, come on, come on and take my hand, oh
(Don't look back)
Whoa, sail away, do you feel the same like I do?
(Don't look back)
