--- Shortcut to Somewhere Taken from the movie Quicksilver ---
He was a fallen angel from the Tower of Babble
Strung out on a high wire
Another skyline drifter, an immaculate stranger
A legend for the wild west end
So when you`re running in a slipstream of the
ratrace veterans
Only one thing left to do
(Slide Away)
Take a breath, slide away Quicksilver
the clean cut easy way through
Well it`s no Easy Rider ain`t no midnight cowboy
Took his place at the starting line
Cos he left you behind with his reputation
lone ranger, no friendships are mine
So when you`ve worked out the problems
And you`ve worked out the angles(the angles)
And you`ve worked out what you wanted to do
(Slide Away)
Take a Breath
Slide Away Quicksilver
The only style that you ever knew
That you ever knew
Everybody`s wanting a Shortcut to Somewhere
Everyone`s needing someone to look up to
Everyone`s looking for somebody`s hero
Are they nowhere to be found?
Are they nowhere to be found?!
With the high heels clicking down the avenue semafore
Tapping out a series distress
to yesterday`s zeros those reluctant young heroes
Need a light to lead them out of this mess
So when you`ve worked out the problems
And you`ve worked out the angles(the angles)
And you`ve worked out what you wanted to do
(slide Away)
Take a Breath
Slide Away Quicksilvert
The only style that you ever knew
That you ever knew
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 you`re running in a slipstream
With the ratrace veterans
Only one thing left to do
(Slide Away)
Take a breath slide away Quicksilver
The clean cut fast easy way through
Well its no Easy Rider ain`t no midnight cowboy
Took his place at the starting line
Because he left you behind with his reputation
Everybody`s wanting a Shortcut to Somewhere
Everyone`s needing someone to look up to
Everyone`s looking for somebody`s hero
Are they nowhere to be found?!
