Bent Van Looy My Escape
[Verse 1]
You used to think of my as such a weird young man
With my nose stuck in a book
I will have you know I always had a plan
Right before my eyes I just didn't know where to look
You would think of me as quite the odd one out
As you passed me in the street
Eyes averted I would listen carefully
To the sound inside my head, the turning of the wheels
[Pre-Chorus]
I have travelled lightyears just to be right where I am
I have drowned in oceans of cold beer in Amsterdam
But as far as I'm concerned I couldn't be more pleased
To be just me
Finally
[Chorus]
How are you lost angels
Hello to my house in the Hollywood hills
I'll see you all later
I'm going away, I'm leaving for real
How are you lost angels
Hello to my house in the Hollywood hills
I'll see you all later
I'm leaving today
[Verse 2]
You wanna know about the time of my escape
I couldn't tell you if I tried
You would wave when I was on the roof that day
Before it was too late to see if I could fly
[Pre-Chorus]
I have travelled lightyears just to be right where I am
I have drowned in oceans of cold beer in Amsterdam
But as far as I'm concerned I couldn't be more pleased
Just to be inside a dream
[Chorus]
How are you lost angels
Hello to my house in the Hollywood hills
I'll see you all later
I'm going away, I'm leaving for real
How are you lost angels
Hello to my house in the Hollywood hills
I'll see you all later
I'm going away, this time it's for real
My escape
[Bridge]
I will miss of course your laughter and your cries
When you put me on the bar
I would dance and sing about the other side
You'll all be sorely missed but I think I will survive
I will survive
How are you lost angels
I'll see you all later
How are you lost angels
I'll see you all later
How are you lost angels
I'll see you all later
How are you lost angels
Hello to my house in the Hollywood hills
I'll see you all later
I'm going away, I'm leaving for real
How are you lost angels
Hello to my house in the Hollywood hills
I'll see you all later
I'm going away
This time it's for real
My escape
