Elysian Fields - Escape From New York lyrics

They say change is good Change is good Bleaching the cracks Of the neighborhood Tiny stages crumble Just to feed the trough No one's making trouble So where is the trade-off? I'm waving the smelling salts This is your wake-up call Won't you come to mack Won't you come to Shadows climb up the wall As they're born Competing for a flattering form Who's superior, eerier, eerier Who's superior, eerier, eerier The numbers climb with a crane And every space filled to the brim When every view becomes the same A window out or a window in Can't tear down their scenery Blocking everything I believe in Make your getaway while you still can Do not be afraid of distant lands Make your getaway while you still can You know gla** turns back to sand There is no edge No frontier That has not been dredged We're our worst fear Plane-safe your phones Beware the drones As they send in the clones Send in the clones Mute their sound Cackling and cacking Pound for pound Fracturing and fracking I see an empire With no fireflies No honeybees No spring-fed wells No maple trees No icebergs No eagles Just beetles Can't tear down their scenery Blocking everything I believe in Make your getaway while you still can Do not be afraid of distant lands Make your getaway while you still can You know gla** turns back to sand Here's an oar There's a boat Sail away through this moat Under Underground
