Great escape
Sitting there at home, he arrived home late
With no more blood cells to inebriate
He lunged at her there, she fell from the couch
He grabbed her body as he pulled her down
She was screaming no, kicking out at him
But he weighed a ton, she could never win
He fell down on her like a sack of snakes
Tears fell from her face as she cried and cried
When there's hope, when there's fear
What is there to say that he might hear
You turn him down with no mistake
Now you're leaving, the great escape
She ran from the room out of their back door
Leaving him to sleep on the front room floor
And she walked that night to the town hall square
She knew it was through and she didn't care
She stood up to him, he looked down on her
He shot the message and the messenger
When he woke he was sick with all the shame
Tears fell from his face as she cried and cried
She arrived back home, he was on his knees
Begging with his heart please come back to me
Grande fuga
Sentado ali em casa, ele chegou tarde
Sem mais glóbulos pra se embriagar
Ele se jogou nela, ela caiu do sofá
Ele agarrou o corpo dela enquanto a puxava pra baixo
Ela gritava não, chutando ele
Mas ele pesava uma tonelada, ela nunca ia ganhar
Ele caiu sobre ela como um saco de cobras
Lágrimas escorriam do rosto dela enquanto ela chorava e chorava
Quando há esperança, quando há medo
O que há pra dizer que ele possa ouvir
Você o rejeita sem erro
Agora você tá indo, a grande fuga
Ela correu do quarto pela porta dos fundos
Deixando ele dormir no chão da sala
E ela caminhou naquela noite até a praça da cidade
Sabia que tinha acabado e não se importava
Ela enfrentou ele, ele olhou pra baixo
Ele disparou a mensagem e o mensageiro
Quando ele acordou, estava doente de vergonha
Lágrimas escorriam do rosto dele enquanto ela chorava e chorava
Ela voltou pra casa, ele estava de joelhos
Implorando com o coração, por favor, volta pra mim
