"Escape (Extended Version) " Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince

Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people get on the floor {x2}
Bass!
{crowd noise} {sampled throughout song}
Glam Slam - Escape! (Glam Slam)

Chorus:
Glam Slam - free yo' mind from this rat race
Glam Slam - Escape!
15 minutes ain't long enough
2 be out yo' mind in a world so tough
If U wanna escape and truly be
All the crack in Compton won't set U free
Come on

Chorus

(Slammin')
U got 2 be yourself, U got 2 be aware
Cuz the Gangster Man - hmm, he don't give a care (Don't care)
Whether U live or whether U die
Glam Slam Escape, gotta give it a try, come on (Ooh!)

Chorus

(Slammin')
(Party baby) {x8}
(Where did I hear that before?)
Glam Slam - Escape!
Everybody trippin' on the party bass
However high U get is a matter of taste (Party baby, party baby)
Winner takes all in the hardest race (Yes it does)
Don't get on the scale if U ain't got the weight
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Say it!
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Come on
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Yeah
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
One more
More hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Escape!
Glam Slam
Ow!

Chorus

Escape!
Don't ask 4 sex, he ain't got the time
Keep your body, he wants your mind
Glam slam slam slam (Keep your body, he wants your mind)
(Keep your body) {x2}
Escape!

Chorus

(Party baby) {x2}
Bass - as in a limbic
U know it's not free
(Party baby) {x2}
Everybody just wants 2 play
Say it! (Play!)
Come on! (Play!)
Slammin', slammin', slammin! (Play! Play!)
Escape! {repeat in the background vocals}
Trancend the physical
Glam Slam
Keep your body, he wants your mind
No punks aloud
Music up - crucifixion goin' down, down, down... (Glam Slam)
Ah yeah!
Glam Slam
