Escapism

You can plan a get away for twenty odd quid 
Don’t say it ain’t true, I know someone who did! 
He said it was the best place he ever could be 
First travelled there aged thirty three 
He’s been ten thousand times and says it’s still worth the money 
But when he goes there, he acts a bit funny 
People are hateful of his little paradise 
His kids don’t like it, mother, nor wife 
It’s cos they think he’s gonna visit there, for the rest of his life 
There’s a quick way to get there without a bus, car or plane 
You gotta inject it and let it run through your veins 
He can travel the world, 45 seconds to a minute 
Makes him feel so alive, why would he ever bin it?
He lets the music take him to another dimension 
To get stuck in this dimension was not his intention 
But he loves it so much, wants to live there forever 
Floatin’ along, as light as a feather 
The weights off his shoulders, cos he’s put it on yours 
Phones switched off, won’t answer the door 
Please don’t pop his bubble 
He swears there’ll be trouble 
If he can’t get the money
He’ll burn the house down to rubble 
One day he‘ll buy a one way ticket, that knows no return
Silly old man, when will he learn?
Cant get there by boat 
But he sure loves to float 
But he don’t like to brag 
He don’t like to gloat 
Cant be proud of the way he gets high 
When he steals from his family just to get by 
He doesn’t like it here 
That’s why he goes away 
To the swirly land of wonder 
That he calls his escape
