The escape artist

from album

Blood

Print without graphics

Run, run like you've already done
You've gotta move to meet demand
If I've flown when the music's done
you better find a place to land

It's all true when I lit that fuse
I never meant to be your friend
I'm gonna drive and make a mess

You act mysterious
but you speak in gibberish
You can take your memories
I'm off
I better be alone
Alone

Part two, now you're back in the news
you're gonna spread the word around
I'm all done because the song is sung
I'm gonna black my windows out

You move mysterious

but you speak in gibberish
You can take your memories
I'm off
I better be alone
Alone

It's not fun at all
It's not fair meetin' us there
It's no fun at all

You act mysterious
but you speak in gibberish
You can take your memories
I'm off
I better be alone
Alone

I'm gone
I better be alone
Alone
