Slipaway
2 Bit Pie - 2Pie Island
Looks like the summertime's been forcing all the freaks onto the streets again
Everyplace I look — a crazy face
just stopping short of looking real insane
The madman on the corners shouting “truth before dishonour”
As a thousand border liners passing by
how hard they tryin' just to miss his gaze
but the heat makes even angels start to feel the strain
Now no one seems too bothered
no one looks at one another
As the derelict Messiahs preach to hoardings under flyers about some judgement day
And the temperature keeps rising till the tension fills the sky and only dreams escape
why don't you slip away?)
why don't you slip away?)
The sunlight burns the eyes
so now nobody sees the signs
The pretty girls all shine and all the boys just stand in line like there's no finer place
looks like the dreams will have to keep until some other day
this city is suffocating me
if that's the price I'll pay
Guess I'll just slip away
why don't you slip away?)
why don't you slip away?)
why don't you slip away?)
why don't you slip away?)
