Chris Millz - Escape from New York lyrics

Stars are falling from the sky And virgins all from the parapet With arms outstretched, they have leapt They are tired of waiting For a groom they know will never come Now that the King of Kings has gone out of his head He's whispering to fools in their beds And giving them the power And it's late, but it's not too late We can still make our escape I've tunneled beneath the subway line So take a last look from the corner of your eye At the city lights all fading Now that the sky has come crashing to the ground And we've played back all the black boxes we found On the corner kids are moving to the sound Of history repeating So say goodbye to all that you love best And hope we find it all again somewhere out west For in these skyscrapers united we will stand Only in our isolation And I'm high, but I'm not that high If we had a car, I think I could still drive From here to the Berlin Wall Or the bottom of the ocean And it's late, but it's not too late We can still make our escape And though it's sad, it's not that sad For soon the memories of the hard times that we've had Will be like city lights all fading
