The Escape

We could make our escape
If we left today
Head out of town
On Stemmons Freeway
Trail the fading lights
Of an April Tuesday
You heard your mother say
It doesn’t have to be that way
We could put on our skates
At the rink today
Make a little time
For your birthday party
Lay on the couch
Sideways
The other way
I think my sister’s here to stay
We could turn down the lights
And change the mood
Drink a little wine
In a living room lean-to
Haze that the stars pass through
Two eyes of blue
I really nevr had a clue
