Paint on my cruel or happy face and hide me behind it
It takes me inside another place where no one can find it
Escape I get out when I can I escape anytime I can
It’s all escape I’m crying in my beer come on let’s escape just get me out of here
Don’t get me wrong don’t get me right I’m not like you are
When I get home from work at night I’m blacker and bluer
So I escape I get out when I can escape anytime I can
It’s all escape I’m crying in my beer escape just get me out of here
But where am I running to there’s no place to go
Just put on my make up and get me to the show yeah escape
Yeah what are you waitin’ for
My doctor said just come around you’ll be taken care of
And in while he ran my problems down I stole his mascara
That’s how I escape I get out when I can I escape anytime I can
I escape I’m crying in my beer it’s escape just get me out of here
Escape let’s get out while we can it’s escape anywhere we can
Come on it’s escape nobody wants us around here anyway
Escape what are you waitin’ for escape escape I escape
Come on darling let’s escape escape escape escape escape
I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here
