Escape

[Verse 1] The street was rushing beneath This is the fastest way I know Where all the cars move backwards And giant alley trees will grow again [Verse 2] I cut across the city's backyards Counting cracks along the concrete A burst open spider web And every blade of grass will make me sneer [Verse 3] When all the fields dried up Tens of comfortable years ago I made this journey once before And the city fed me long enough [Verse 4] To put a weight around the middle This is apparent affluence Left in a pack when I was little Then I got pulled apart from closest friends [Verse 5] There was a door on my horizon And silver sparkling rays were pouring in So I sneaked away on soft hands Another world in the making [Outro] (Oh, I know I fall) (Oh, I know I fell) (Oh, I know I'm fallen)
