The Walls - The Great Escape lyrics

<b>The Great Escape</b> by <i>The Walls</i><br />It was like the great escape

Two of us making haste

Through blinking cities and countryside

These old French towns are quiet

Well they must have a lot to hide

Close the shutters, tell a lie

Yeah, they must have a lot to hide

Close those shutters, tell a lie

We loved each other in twenty towns

In hotel rooms and a waitress's house

Up narrow stairs in creaking beds

On pillows full of prayers

Left behind still unheard

Until that moment undisturbed

Left behind still unheard

Until that moment undisturbed

I bought you perfume in Italy

It made me sneeze must be an allergy

When we slept out in the woods

The devil kept away from us

While we were sleeping in our car

Out beneath the guilty stars

While we were sleeping in our car

Someone else, was standing guard

And did I give it all back to you?

Well about that I'm not so sure

Nature cannot tow the line

When you're born under a sign

When you're built to a design

You spend your life trying to unwind

Now we're back beneath those stars

And this is who we are

I had a dream we were lifted off our feet

We floated over broken glass
