Lyrics

Escape to Phoenix

A lost guy down in the world

Wants to break in

He’ll tell you where to go

Grand destinies

New hot topics

The escape scene

Watching eternity

The people demand an answer

What are you waiting for?

It you can see me I’m too close

Pick it up now

Double your time

Watching eternity

The people demand an answer...

Crank up your monkey

And organ without me...
