You’ve been working late tonight
Suffering an indecent plight
I see now why you keep such track of time
You don’t have to justify
It’s clear that you’ve been brushed aside
And fate dear has picked your lot in life

Sometimes I think I’d strangle them
It wouldn’t be the worst sin for this man
I’ve seen that road before
I know I’ve got the grip for
When they bust up your lip girl
I promise there’s worse for them in store

She thinks she found another
She’ll soon discover he’s not looking for a good time
Just someone to relieve his mind
Is he a demon or a man or a ticket to a far away land
At least it’s an escape plan

You told me where you’ll go and why I should leave
It’s no home like I have seen
So meet your debts and settle your soul
If you don’t, you’re never gonna live to grow old

They say that it’s criminal
Maybe I’m just cynical of dreams
They’re destined to betray
Everything I’m telling you
I wish it were a happy ruse
But the world will make you make your way

She thinks she found another
She’ll soon discover he’s not looking for a good time
Just someone to discharge his mind
Is he an animal that stands or a desperate, drowning man
He’ll show her that he can take you to a far away land
It's an escape
He's an escape
It’s an escape plan
