Shortcut to Somewhere — текст песни (Tony Banks)

He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble

Strung out on the high wire

Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger

A legend for the wild west end

So when youre running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans

Only one thing left to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

The clean cut easy way through



Its no easy rider aint no midnight cowboy

Took his place at the starting line

Cos he left you behind with his reputation

Lone ranger still fresh in our minds

So when youve worked out the problems and youve worked out the angles

And youve worked out what you wanted to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

The only style that you ever knew

That you ever knew



Everyones wanting a shortcut to somewhere

Everyones needing someone to look up to

Everyones looking for somebodys hero

Are they nowhere to be found?

- are they nowhere to be found?



With the high heels clicking out the avenue semaphore

Tapping out a serious distress

To yesterdays zeros those reluctant young heroes

Need a light to lead them out of this mess

So when youre running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans

Only one thing left to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

Its a clean cut easy way through



He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble

Strung up on the high wire

Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger

A legend for the wild west end

So when youve worked out the problems and youve worked out the angles

And youve worked out what you wanted to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

The only style that you ever knew

That you ever knew



Everyones wanting a shortcut to somewhere

Everyones needing someone to look up to

Everyones looking for somebodys hero

Are they nowhere to be found?
