Prince Escape Lyrics

Escape Lyrics

Escape  [Controversy Music, ASCAP - 1988]
------  [US flipside to Glam Slam]

Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people get on the floor
All the party people get on the floor
Bass
Glam Slam escape!

Glam Slam, free your mind from this rat race
Glam Slam Escape!

15 minutes ain't long enough
to be out your mind in a world so tough
If you wanna escape and truly be
all the crack in Compton won't set U free
Come on

Glam Slam, (slammin') free your mind from this rat race
Glam Slam Escape!

You got to be yourself, you gotta be aware
Cuz the Ganster-man, he don't give a care
whether you live, or whether you die
Glam Slam Escape, gotta give it a try

Glam Slam, free your mind from this rat race
Glam Slam (slammin') Escape!

(Party baby) {{repeated in background}}

(Where did I hear that before?)

Glam Slam escape!

Everybody trippin' on the party bass
However higher U get, is a matter of taste
(party baby)
Winner takes all in the hardest race
Don't get on the scale if U ain't got the weight
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate, say
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate, come on
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate, yeah
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate, one more
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate

Escape!
Glam Slam

Glam Slam, free your mind from this rat race
Glam Slam Escape!
