Escape Lyrics by Dokken

Hell to Pay

0

Turn the lights down low
There's nobody home
I've been watching for hours
The clock on the wall

Seems the hands are frozen
They don't move at all
Then the silence breaks
As you walk through the door

On and on and on
Somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay so I won't

On and on and on
It won't leave me alone
Wish that you could remember the time that we said

I can't wait any longer to love you
Turn my reflections away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape

When I hold you close
There's nobody home
I can hear every heartbeat
Whisper and woe

Turn me on with your eyes
As I smile right on cue
You rehearse everything
That you say and you do

On and on and on
You and I don't belong
There's no reasons to stay anymore so I won't
On and on and on
Something's terribly wrong
Wish that I could remember the time that we said

I can't wait any longer to love you
Turn my reflections away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape

I've waited so long
I'm headed for the other side
I'm losing my mind over you
Over you

I've been watching for hours
The clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen
They don't move at all

I can't wait any longer to love you
Turn my reflections away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape

I can't wait any longer to love you
Turn my reflections away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind
So I can escape
