Can't Get Away Lyrics - Coming From Reality - Rodriguez

Born in the troubled city 

In Rock and Roll, USA 

In the shadow of the tallest building 

I vowed I would break away 

Listened to the Sunday actors 

But all they would ever say 

That you can't get away from it 

No you can't get away 

No you can't get away from it 

No you can't get away 

Schooled on the city sidewalks 

Coldness at every turn 

Knew I had to find the exits 

I never, ever would return 

Scoffed at the prophet's omens 

That said I would live to learn 

That you can't get away from it 

no you can't get away 

no you can't get away from it 

no you can't get away 

Going unaided toward the west coast 

Stopped in the sleepy town 

Left my change and walked out 

I didn't even turn around 

What they were getting next to 

Was that old familiar sound 

That you can't get away from it 

no you can't get away 

no you can't get away from it 

no you can't get away 

In a hotel room in Amsterdam 

On a wild and windy August night 

As a cloud passed over a cold moon 

My heart was seized with terror and fright 

Seeping up through the floorboards 

Coming in through the walls 

Coming in through the doorway 

Ringing up and down the halls 

That you can't get away from it 

no you can't get away 

no you can't get away from it 

no you can't get away 

no you can't get away 

no you can't get away 

no you can't get away...
