The Great Escape

Why in hell I wandered into this gathering
Of narcissistic cannibals?
Spicing you with lies, oh so flattering
Getting close to eat you whole

Fake politics and modern art and
Boutique hippie protocols
But I saw my counterpart
Leaning bored against the wall

Cigarette on her lips, swift roll of the eyes

Darling we’ve got to flee from this party
Before they set their eyes on us
I'm pretty sure they won’t be able to harm me
If we just leave in a cloud of dust

From her spot she nodded, curved her index finger two times

As I met her she spoke: We must hurry
I think they’ve got a sniff of our scent!
Took my hand and she said: Don’t you worry
Soon we’ll break free from their detent.

In came the pedantic drooling
With cue cards up their sleeves
Big smiles that were made for fooling
And for showing the teeth

We just look at each other, stared deep inside our minds

Darling we’ve got to flee from this party
Before they set their eyes on us
I'm pretty sure they won’t be able to harm me
If we just leave in a cloud of dust

Sneak past our captors, run to the exit light

She gets me going
She gets me going
She gets me going all night
She gets me going all night long

She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long
She gets me going all night long

She gets me going
She gets me going
She gets me
