From the recording Rational Agent
Lyrics
Sometimes I wanna get away
Like supposedly Jesus did back in the day
For forty days or forty nights?
Who cares! The point is that He got away!
I go downtown, enter a bar, get a drink, sit down
There’s nobody here worth talking to,
worth looking at, or worth fucking
When I walk the streets all I see, are some hookers and clowns,
there’s a bum on the ground, I jump over him he gets up and yells,
“I want some money!” Then I take a drive into the night
There’s a moon in the sky, its beautiful!
So beautiful tonight! Beautiful tonight!
(chorus)
Getaway! Far away!
Getaway! Far away! Getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
Getaway! Far away! Getaway! Far away!
Getaway! Oh! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway!
One day I’m gonna getaway
But it’s not so easy, cause this is the game
Chasing the money chasing the fame
Oh God! it’s making everyone insane!
I feel so alone so out of touch
I’ve had enough of the city life
this crazy life
All the people, the sounds of the hustle
When I close my eyes I open my mind
I get that feeling inside I feel so high
I feel so high inside feel so high inside!
Getaway! Far away! Getaway! Far away!
Getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
Getaway! Far away! Getaway! Far away!
Getaway!
Oh! I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway
This time I’m gonna getaway!
I’m gonna let go of pain from yesterday
and all the bad times and all of the good times
It’s gonna be a brand new day!
(chorus)
Getaway! Far away! Getaway! Far away!
Getaway! Oh!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
Getaway! Far away! Getaway! Far away!
Getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway! I’ve got to getaway!
I’ve got to getaway!
(End)
