Lyrics

Getaway


There are times I want to breakaway,
At times I feel alright.
So hard to keep it simple,
But simplicity is what I want.

Wish I had a secret refuge,
To go to once in a while.
Like a sanctuary,
My own Shangri-La.

Sometimes feel lucky,
Sometimes seize the day,
But always dream of making my getaway.

Gonna pack my bags and go,
To an island I don't know.
To a place among the palm trees,
With a view and a warm breeze.

If I knew the way,
To a place like Avalon.
I would go there, take my rest,
Get right, and move on.

Sometimes feel lucky,
Sometimes seize the day,
But always dream of a beautiful hideaway.

Oooh, Aaah, Oooh.

interlude - Instrumental

Sometimes feel lucky,
Sometimes seize the day,
But always dream of living some other way.

Sometimes feel lucky,
Sometimes seize the day,
But always dream of making my getaway.
