Get Out While You Can

I've been looking all night watching them empty hours

Invisible to these crowds, always double vision

I've been losing my mind listening to broken speech

Stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture

And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head

Always that same thing that you said

Get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the nights slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand

So get out, get out while you still can

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

As I'm sweeping up glass, I see the exit lights so green

There's people falling into the streets

Something comes together

I've been here too long and if I stay, they'll tie me down

I know this trench won't hang around, so I'm gone forever

And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head

Always that same thing that you said

So get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the nights slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand

So get out, get out while you still can

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ah

Packing up my suitcase, racing down for gun street

Making my tracks along the cracks in the coke

Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet

If you find me, you will find me on the run

For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the shopping carts

I've seen the green of glass, I've seen the faster cars

And I don't need your heavy hours

I don't need your lonely bars

I'm ejected like a bullet from a gun

So take your final look at me, may even take my hand

Standing on the staircase, come and chase the master plan

Long way to get away, play it like a grand slam

This is no encore, we have only just begun

So get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the nights slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand

So get out, get out while you still can

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ah

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ah
