Escape from LA

I said, Mister Mister I need a one way ticket to anywhere but here I've seen the lights I've done my time Give me some land Won't you please understand Because a long time ago We crossed one many roads I had to leave the sun, as just one But I saw it coming I just, I needed a rise Let's get goin', it's gettin' cold Cold outside Like a lighthouse, lacking light Hidden from sight in the dead of night As sure as the minute you once owned As pure as a schoolyard covered in snow A one way ticket from the city at night The city that runs, the city that hides East coast I trust the most The other side they do very well They do very well, they sell Freedom rings, when I say Rise up stay up, too much is, it's never enough When I saw it comin, I, I needed a rise Let's get goin' it's gettin' cold, cold outside A one way ticket from the city at night The city that runs the city that hides I had to leave the sun, I had to leave the sun I had to leave the sun, as just one
