[Verse One] I've been looking all night watching them empty hours Invisible to these crowds, always double vision I've been losing my mind listening to broken speech Stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture [Pre-Chorus] And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always that same thing that you said [Chorus] Get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the nights slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh [Verse Two] As I'm sweeping up gla**, I see the exit lights so green These people falling into the streets Something comes together I've been here too long and if I stay, they'll tie me down I know this trench won't hang around So I'm gone forever [Pre-Chorus] And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always that same thing that you said [Chorus] So get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the nights slip through your hands
The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh [Bridge] Packing up my suitcase, racing down for gun street Making my tracks along the cracks in the coke Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet If you find me, you will find me on the run For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the stubborn cards I've seen the green of gla** I've seen the faster cars And I don't need your heavy hours I don't need your lonely bars I'm ejected like a bullet from a gun So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand Standing on the staircase, come and chase the master plan Long way to get away, play it like a grand slam This is no encore, we have only just begun [Chorus] Get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the nights slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh...
