Lyrics:
Verse 1
Bad day, looking for a way
Home,looking for the Great Escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
And breathes it out, he says
Bye bye, bye to all of the noise
Oh he says Bye bye, bye to all of the noise
Chorus
Dooh dooh dooh dooh dooooh nooo noo
Dooh dooh dooh dooh doooh nooo noooo nooo noo
Dooh dooh dooh dooh dooooh nooo noo
Dooh dooh dooh dooh doooh nooo noooo nooo noo
Verse 2
Hey child, things are looking down
That's okay, you don't need to win anyways
Don't be afraid, just eat up all the grey
And it will fade all away
Don't let yourself fall down
Chorus
Dooh dooh dooh dooh dooooh nooo noo
Dooh dooh dooh dooh doooh nooo noooo nooo noo
Dooh dooh dooh dooh dooooh nooo noo
Dooh dooh dooh dooh doooh nooo noooo nooo noo
Verse 3
Bad day, looking for the Great Escape
He says bad day, looking for the Great Escape
On a bad day, looking for the Great Escape
The Great Escape
