Rodriguez - Can't Get Away lyrics

Born in the troubled city In Rock and Roll, USA In the shadow of the tallest building I vowed I would break away Listened to the Sunday actors But all they would ever say That you can't get away from it No you can't get away No you can't get away from it No you can't get away Schooled on the city sidewalks Coldness at every turn Knew I had to find the exits I never, ever would return Scoffed at the prophet's omens That said I would live to learn That you can't get away from it No you can't get away No you can't get away from it No you can't get away Going unaided toward the west coast Stopped in the sleepy town Left my change and walked out I didn't even turn around What they were getting next to Was that old familiar sound That you can't get away from it No you can't get away No you can't get away from it No you can't get away In a hotel room in Amsterdam On a wild and windy August night As a cloud pa**ed over a cold moon My heart was seized with terror and fright Seeping up through the floorboards Coming in through the walls Coming in through the doorway Ringing up and down the halls That you can't get away from it No you can't get away No you can't get away from it No you can't get away No you can't get away No you can't get away No you can't get away...
