Placid Escape Lyrics

Escape Lyrics

With Special thanks to Rupert Holmes

 

 I was tired of my lady

 We've been together too long

 Like a worn out recording 

 Of a favourite song

 So while she lay there sleeping

 I read the paper in bed

 And in the personal columns 

 There was this letter I read

 

 If you like pina colodas

 And getting caught in the rain

 If you're not into yoga

 If you have half a brain

 If you like makin' love at midnight

 In the dooms of the cape

 I'm the love that you look for

 Write to me and escape

 

 Musical Interlude

 

 I didn't think about my lady

 I know that sounds kinda mean

 But me and my ol' lady

 Have fallen into the same old dull routine

 So I wrote to the paper

 To get a personal ad

 And though I'm nobody's poet

 I thought it wasn't half bad

 

 Yes, I like pina colodas

 And getting caught in the rain

 I'm not much into health food

 I am into champange

 I've got to meet you to by tomorrow noon

 And cut through all this red tape

 At a bar fourth o' malley's 

 Where we'll plan our escape

 

 Musical Interlude

 

 So I waited with high hopes

 As she walked in through the place

 I knew her smile in an instant

 I knew the curve of her face

 It was my own lovely lady 

 And she said "Ah, it's you"

 And we laughed for a moment

 And I said "I never knew"

 

 That you like pina colodas

 And getting caught in the rain

 And the feel of the ocean

 And the taste of champange

 If you like makin' love at midnight

 In the dooms of the cape

 You're the lady I've looked for

 Come with me and escape

 

 Musical Interlude

 

 Repeat First Chorus
