Lyrics No Escape - Die Toten Hosen

No Escape

Another boring Saturday in another boring week
I needed something to wake me up and make my life complete
I had some stuff I’d been saving for a special occasion
I took one, then I took one more, my head blew up like a bomb
My room started spinning around, I fell down to the floor
I lay there for quite a while, then I crawled towards the door
Hanging on to the handle, I tried to get off my knees
The door opened and the hallway morror was right in front of me
My face was hanging there like it belonged to someone else
And I could see all the bits of me I’d been hiding from myself
There’s no escape
No escape for you
There’s no escape
No escape from me
Another boring Saturday in another boring week
But now it seems so far away and I’m too fucked to speak
Wish I could have another boring day, but I’m stuck with this instead
In the hallway with a frozen face and these questions in my head
I close my eyes and turn around, I try to break the spell —
I reach out for the front door, and I leave my private hell
I get outside and I walk around, waiting for my mind to clear
But every window that I look in I see the same face appear
And everybody walking down the street is wearing the same face, too
Now they are all staring at me and there’s nothing I can do
There’s no escape
No escape for you
There’s no escape
No escape from me
This is your face speaking
You’re one face in the crowd
You know there’s no escape from me
You’d better face it now
