Lyrics
0:01She despises the direction this city's been going in
0:16She rises above it all cause after all
0:27Someone's gotta go free and someone's gotta fall to the rhythm
0:46Escape from new york escape from la
0:54Take it from me leave london
1:01You study your braille you listen to the hail outside
1:09A comedy of souls a plot thick with holes
1:12In a windowless room on the outskirts of town overlooking the river
1:47You're living you're breathing
1:48You're living you're breathing
1:50You try to believe what you don't believe
1:53You wanted to go you'll never leave
2:25Lily-covered livers
2:25The rich man shivers for reasons unknown in the wind
2:40I'm over before I begin he says
2:48I'm over before I begin to go he says
She despises the direction this city's been going in She rises above it all cause after all Someone's gotta go free and someone's gotta fall to the rhythm Escape from new york escape from la Take it from me leave london You study your braille you listen to the hail outside A comedy of souls a plot thick with holes In a windowless room on the outskirts of town overlooking the river You're living you're breathing You're living you're breathing You try to believe what you don't believe You wanted to go you'll never leave Lily-covered livers The rich man shivers for reasons unknown in the wind I'm over before I begin he says I'm over before I begin to go he says
