Song title: Marillion - The Great Escape

Edit By: 216.73.216.33

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday

Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away

Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload

Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light

Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you

Youre holding on, youre holding on ...

(I) the last of you

Just when I thought Id seen the last of you
You come here scratchin at my door
Your pain and angers in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk

So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still dont know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?

(ii) fallin from the moon

Dont ask me why Im doing this
You wouldnt understand
Youre asking the wrong questions
You couldnt understand

A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isnt far to fall

When youve fallen from the moon

Theres murder on the street
Im ashes on the water now, somewhere far away

I have fallen, fallen from the moon
