Marillion - The Great Escape Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)Heading for the great escapeHeading for the raveHeading for the permanent holidayHeading for the winter tripHeading for the slideHeading for the dignified walk awayHeading for the open roadGoodbye to all thatHeading for the automatic overloadStanding in the open boatStanding in the swingWaiting for the ringing and the bright lightWaiting to be recognisedQuiet applause will doThey shower you with flowers when they bury youYoure holding on, youre holding on ...(I) the last of youJust when I thought Id seen the last of youYou come here scratchin at my doorYour pain and angers in the howling darkOf every corridor I walkSo tell me more about the love that you rejectedTell me more about the trust you disrespectedI still dont know, why did you hurt the very oneWhy did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?(ii) fallin from the moonDont ask me why Im doing thisYou wouldnt understandYoure asking the wrong questionsYou couldnt understandA bridge is not a high placeThe fifty-second floorIcarus would knowA mountain isnt far to fallWhen youve fallen from the moonTheres murder on the streetIm ashes on the water now, somewhere far awayI have fallen, fallen from the moon
