The Great Escape

Lyrics for The Great Escape

Am I still here? Am I hidden from your sight? Did I suddenly expire; did I walk into the light? But maybe there is time; one more trick up my sleeve there is still so much to say Can anybody hear me? I'm suffocating - can't you hear me shout wrapped up in soft voices like a reverential shroud I'm suffocationg - can't you hear me cry a constant flow of faces on parade before my eyes Can anybody hear me? So much to say the secrets I have kept - stories from the good old days can anybody hear me? So much to say the politics of people - and the ganes we choose to play This is not a coma I a resting my eyes tired of the noise and scared of the lies but for one night only I will capticate you all with one last piece of magig ... one last miracle I'm suffocating - can't you hear me scream? as you stab me in the arm in search of somewhere good to bleed I'm suffocating - can't you hear my prayers? a rain of gentle hands trying hard to show they care I could fly so high and free - if my soul wasn't anchored to me I've got one last show I have to do and my powers of illusion will amaze and puzzle you pull the rabbit from an old and battered hat cut the lady into pieces, just like that I will mesmerize and dramatize and obfuscate and I'll finisch with undoubtedly the greatest - the greatest escape! Can anybody hear me? Am I hidden from your sight? Did I suddenly expire; did I walk into the light? Can anybody hear me? Am I hidden from your sight? Did you see me turn to stone, or go missing in the night? Can anybody hear me? Can anybody hear me? Did I suddenly expire; did I walk into the light? Can anybody hear me? Can anybody hear me? Have I turned into a statue, or gone missing in the night? Can anybody hear me? (Dank an simon für den Text)
