looking for the great escape

Bad day, looking for a way home,
Looking for the great escape.
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breathes it in and breathes it out
He says, "Bye-bye, bye to all of the noise."
Oh he says, "Bye-bye, bye to all of the noise."
Hey child, things are looking down,
That’s ok you don’t need to win anyways.
Don’t be afraid just eat up all the gray,
and it will fade all away.
Don’t let yourself fall down.
Bad day, looking for the great escape.
He says, "Bad day," looking for the great escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
The great escape. 

as palavras ocultas

dá-me

dá-me algo mais que silêncio ou doçura
algo que tenhas e não saibas
não quero dádivas raras
dá-me uma pedra

não fiques imóvel fitando-me
como se quisesses dizer
que há muitas coisas mudas
ocultas no que se diz

dá-me algo lento e fino
como uma faca nas costas
e se nada tens para dar-me
dá-me tudo o que te falta!

(para a cristina)

smiling
spinning in circles
holding hands
the world is a blur
except when you're standing

dripping wet
completly soaked
no rubberboots
running inside of us
wants to burst out of the shell

wind in
and the smell of your hair
i hit as hard as i can
with my nose
jumping into a puddle
wearing no boots
completely soaked (dripping wet)
wearing no boots

and i get a nosebleed
but i'll always stand up again
(hopelandic)

and i get a nosebleed
but i'll always stand up again
