Breakout Lyrics by Colm Egan

Here’s My Face

2020

Late last night
She heard him pounding
On her screen door
He was breathless in the rain
He said "darling
It’s a town of losers
Where the winners don’t last long
If I stay I know I’m done"

He said "I can’t take it no more
Gotta breakout here tonight
I can’t take it no more
Gotta breakout here tonight"

She’s sleeping easy
In her seat
Of rexine leatherette
He lights up a cigarette
The flash of headlights
The blur of signs
As a rusty blood sun rises
In a desert morning sky

He said, ‘‘I can’t take it no more
Gotta breakout here tonight
I can’t take it no more
Gotta breakout here tonight’’

Woah-woah
Woah-woah
Woah-woah
Woah-woah

Streets lined with methadone stares
Gunshots and sirens fill the cold night air
Same scene that they’ve known so long
You want out but you’re dragged in when you’re young
You’re chewed up and you’re spat straight out
‘round here they’ll only bring you down
They'll bring you down
So breakout
Ohhh

Breakout, breakout, break-break, breakout
Breakout, breakout, yeah, gotta breakout
Breakout, breakout, break-break, breakout
Breakout, breakout, yeah, gotta breakout

He said, ‘‘I can’t take it no more
Gotta breakout here tonight
I can’t take it no more
Gotta breakout here tonight’’

We’ll hold to tomorrow
Leave behind your sorrow
There’s something better waiting up ahead
Forget your doubts
And darling let's breakout of here
Tonight

Woah-woah
Woah-woah
Woah-woah
Woah-woah
