He Tried To Escape Lyrics - Midlake

He tried to escape once in a balloon 

He tried to escape once in a balloon 

On the foggiest day he decided not to stay 

The ground below held his life not long ago 

And through the fog, the ground, it disappeared 

He felt he had made it and starts to come down 

A crowd of people that followed were cheering loud 

But then something went wrong 

And he couldn't get back anywhere 

And when he landed just inside the gates 

The [Incomprehensible] and carried him away
