Tony Banks - Shortcut To Somewhere lyrics

He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble Strung out on the high wire Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger A legend for the wild west end So when you're running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans Only one thing left to do Take a breath slide away quicksilver The clean cut easy way through It's no easy rider ain't no midnight cowboy Took his place at the starting line Cos he left you behind with his reputation Lone ranger still fresh in our minds So when you've worked out the problems and you've worked out the angles And you've worked out what you wanted to do Take a breath slide away quicksilver The only style that you ever knew That you ever knew Everyone's wanting a shortcut to somewhere Everyone's needing someone to look up to Everyone's looking for somebody's hero Are they nowhere to be found? - are they nowhere to be found? With the high heels clicking out the avenue semaphore Tapping out a serious distress To yesterdays zeros those reluctant young heroes Need a light to lead them out of this mess So when you're running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans Only one thing left to do Take a breath slide away quicksilver It's a clean cut easy way through He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble Strung up on the high wire Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger A legend for the wild west end So when you've worked out the problems and you've worked out the angles And you've worked out what you wanted to do Take a breath slide away quicksilver The only style that you ever knew That you ever knew Everyone's wanting a shortcut to somewhere Everyone's needing someone to look up to Everyone's looking for somebody's hero Are they nowhere to be found?
