Текст пісні
They're showing a movie on the side of the bank
Oh I'm in love with all creation
And the warmth of the hood of the car in the dark
Oh I feel I'm an angel in waiting
Where time is a lie in the dark of your face
In the battles we've won, lost or misplaced
In the promise of heaven and the hold of its gates
Oh I can just see it now
But how, my love, will we escape?
Oh how, my love, will we escape?
I've been asked now to speak a few words to the crowd
Oh I could be sick any moment
There's a crack in the porcelain cup of the sky
I broke it and wish I could own it
And all that leaks through where we've driven the nail
To hang here suspended so human and frail
From atop of this jerry-rigged circus in jail
That's folding the tent on us now
Oh but how, my love, will we escape?
Oh how, my love, will we escape?
I deserve a much nicer hotel room than this
With parking nearer the riot
I can look to no man to make me more than I am
Oh but honey, you might wanna try it
Oh well farewell to arms and to all we might be
Farewell to this endless, confused reverie
Somewhere there's a heaven for you and for me
But oh won't you please tell me now
Just how, my love, will we escape?
