Paint on my cruel or happy face
I hide me behind it
It takes me inside another place 
where no-one can find it

Escape

I get out when I can

I escape

Anytime I can

It's all escape

I'm crying in my beer

Come on let's escape

Just get me out of here

Don't get me wrong don't get me right
I'm not like you are
When I get home from work at night
I'm blacker and bluer

So I escape

I get out when I can

Yeah I escape

Anytime I can

It's all escape

I'm crying in my beer

Escape

Just get me out of here

Where am I running to?
There's no place to go
Just put on my makeup 
and get me to the show

Yeaaaaaaah

Escape

Yeah

What are you waiting for?

My doctor said just come around
You'll be taken care of
And while he ran my problems down
I stole his mascara

That's how I escape

I get out when I can

I Escape

Anyway I can

I Escape

I'm crying in my beer

It's Escape

Just get me out of here

Escape


- Alice Cooper (1978)
