lyrics

You're up against your own graffiti'd wall
Tag the skyline, you've seen it all
All you can see now in your crystal ball
are broken bottles in a hotel in Montreal

The darkest of dreams became a little too dark
You can't take the heat, you dream of leaving your mark
I wish you could start off for the country air
but the only escape is everywhere

The only escape is everywhere
you don't need magicians or millionaires
no use in wishing you could disappear
The only escape is everywhere

Starts with a wish on a morning star
as far as you've come you've only come so far
like a desperate extra in a film noir
pretending to sleep down at the end of the bar

This isn't a movie, this isn't a book
No one is looking at how tragic you look
The hook is almost in your hair
The only escape is everywhere

Don't have the time
I've been walking all night
Falling behind
beneath the lights of the neon sign

When the ping pong sing-a-long
is all you ever hear

When the slow hell hotel
is sliding off the pier

The only escape is everywhere
