Chris Mills - Escape From New York Lyrics
Stars are falling from the skyAnd virgins all from the parapetWith arms outstretched, they have leaptThey are tired of waitingFor a groom they know will never comeNow that the King of Kings has gone out of his headHe's whispering to fools in their bedsAnd giving them the powerAnd it's late, but it's not too lateWe can still make our escapeI've tunneled beneath the subway lineSo take a last look from the corner of your eyeAt the city lights all fadingNow that the sky has come crashing to the groundAnd we've played back all the black boxes we foundOn the corner kids are moving to the soundOf history repeatingSo say goodbye to all that you love bestAnd hope we find it all again somewhere out westFor in these skyscrapers united we will standOnly in our isolationAnd I'm high, but I'm not that highIf we had a car, I think I could still driveFrom here to the Berlin WallOr the bottom of the oceanAnd it's late, but it's not too lateWe can still make our escapeAnd though it's sad, it's not that sadFor soon the memories of the hard times that we've hadWill be like city lights all fading
