And I don't know why all you people
Put that into my head
I can't see why this conversation
Is looking kind of dead

At the close of every day
There's a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
I'm often doing time
And I don't know just why you reckon
It would be this day and

Don't you see that my heart's on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread 'round me sometimes
All I know is that we've got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we'd go for the great escape

So you do praise a different light
And I am blinded by it
So sorry that I made you cry
Your faith in me it had to die
I guess that
That it's too late
The lights are out
The party's over baby
And now
I wish I'd told you

Don't you see that my heart's on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread 'round me sometimes
All I know is that we've got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we'd go for the great escape

Don't you see that my heart's on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread 'round me sometimes
All I know is that we've got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we'd go for the great escape
