A Failed Escape Attempt Songtext / Lyric

A man leans down and whispers:

"You can't stay. This is your chance, now take it, run away"

The stupid creature grunts and thinks, I'll try

They says a word, it's sounding like goodbye






"Straight ahead, never turn around

Don't look back, back where you began

Through the woods, through the fields you'll run

Don't go back to that awful man"



A clumsy figure flees into the night

He's tired, turns, and glimpses a distant light

He's rushing now, towards a waving man

That foolish thing, runs back where he began



"Straight ahead, never turn around

Don't look back, back where you began

Through the woods, through the fields you'll run

Don't go back to that awful man"
