No relief from the heat

When you're livin' on the street

Searchin' high, lookin' low

Someone show me somewhere to go

'Cause I can't stay another day

Gotta make a getaway

Shuck and jivin' on Broadway

Still survivin', yeah, day by day

And then the man spins you around

Throws you in the lost-and-found

'Cause if you wanna play, you gotta pay

Or make a gateway

You better make a getaway

Gotta make a getaway

Gotta make a getaway

Gotta make a getaway

Getaway

Lord know I got to get away

Get away

You know I feel I got to get away today
