Escape

The street is rushing beneath

This is the fastest way I know

Where all the cars move backwards

And giant alley trees were grown again

I cut across the city's backyards

Counting cracks in the concrete

A burst open spider web

And every blade of grass will make me sneer

When all the fields dried up

Tens of comfortable years ago

I made this journey once before

And the city fed me long enough

To put on weight around the middle

This is apparent affluence

Lived in a pack when I was little

Then I got pulled apart from closest friends

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

Now I know how you felt

Now I know how you felt
