Come with me and take my hand
  Don't look back just let it end
  Walk with me for one more mile
  And think this over for awhile
  And decide
    I've been thinking for some time
  Of escaping
  More than once it's really crossed my mind
  Escaping
  There's a little bit further left to go
  We're not too fast and we're not too slow
  The deadline's ours, we're doing fine
  I'm not yours and you're not mine
  Please decide
    Come see what the madman sees
  In escaping
  The endless possibilities
  Of escaping...I'm escaping
    When you try to look around but the walls are closing in
  And you've got just enough strength to think of starting again
  But you don't have the time you cannot think or hesitate
  Because the bus just left and you're seven hours late
  And all you can see is the sun going down
  In some far away land in some far away town
  And all of a sudden you find you just don't care
  And you'd give everything you have if you could be over there
  And even though you don't know how
  But you think you know why
  You could be full of shit
  But you could give it a real good try
  Try...try...please try...try
    I see the decision in your eyes
  No, it's OK, and I'm not surprised
  See just like you, I'm not afraid
  Of being scared of the choice you made
  So did I
    You see nobody said that your life is fair
  So you turn around now you know your home's back there
  I've got to find out what I can see
  I love you and remember me
  Please don't cry...Don't cry
    Oh say good-bye my friend
  I'm escaping
  I guess all I can do is recommend
  Escaping
  Try escaping
  Try escaping
  Try escaping
  Try escaping...
