THE GREAT ESCAPE

Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey
Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey

When I was young and naive
Used to run with the thieves
Thieves with cards up their sleeves
Beg, borrow and cheat
Cut them off at their knees
I'd lie and steal just to please

But written on my face was a guilt I could not take
So I had to break away
But written on my face was a guilt I could not take
So I had to break away

Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat I dance to the drum of a different beat
Now I'm free
Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat I dance to the drum of a different beat
Now I'm free
And he said 'What have I done to deserve this? I was only good to you'
And he said 'What have I done to deserve this? I was only good to you'

Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey!


And guilt is such a heavy debt when it is all that you got left
Last card I'm holding to my chest
And it's hard to simply forget when all that's left instead
Is this little black book of regrets

Now the devil in my ear, let him whisper insinceres
Because the devil I don't fear
Now the devil in my ear, let him whisper insinceres
Because the devil I don't fear

Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat I dance to the drum of a different beat
Now I'm free
Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat I dance to the drum of a different beat
Now I'm free
And he said 'What have I done to deserve this? I was only good to you'
And he said 'What have I done to deserve this? I was only good to you'

Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey!
Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey!

Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat
I dance
Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat
I dance
Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat
I dance

Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat I dance to the drum of a different beat
Now I'm free
Oh, out in the valley where the sharks done eat I dance to the drum of a different beat
Now I'm free
And he said 'What have I done to deserve this? I was only good to you'
And he said 'What have I done to deserve this? I was only good to you'

Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey!
Hey da dada da hey da dada dada hey da dada da hey!
