[Verse 1]

Paint on my cruel or happy face

I hide me behind it

It takes me inside another place

Where no-one can find it


[Chorus]

Escape, I get out when I can

I escape, anytime I can

Yes, I'll escape, I'm crying in my beer

Come on, let's escape, just get me out of here


[Verse 2]

Don't get me wrong, don't get me right

I'm not like you are

When I get home from work at night

I'm blacker and bluer


[Chorus]

So I escape, I get out when I can

Yeah, I escape, anytime I can

Let’s all escape, I'm crying in my beer

Escape, just get me out of here


[Bridge]

Where am I running to?

There's no place to go

Just put on my makeup

And get me to the show

Yeah, escape

Yeah, what are ya waiting for?


[Verse 3]

My doctor said just come around

And you'll be taken care of

And while he ran my problems down

I stole his mascara


[Chorus]

That's how I escape, I get out when I can

I escape, any way I can

I escape, I'm crying in my beer

Let's escape, just get me out of here

Escape, let's get out while we can

Escape, any way we can

Come on let's escape, nobody wants us around here anyway

Escape, what are we waiting for?


[Outro]

Escape, escape

Escape, come on outta there, let's escape

Escape, escape, escape, escape

Escape

Escape

Escape

Escape

Escape

Escape (I've got to get out of here, I've got to get out of here)

(I've got to get out of here, I've got to get out of here)

Escape (I've got to get out of here, I've got to get out of here)

(I've got to get out of here, I've got to get out of here)
