Lyrics

Planning My Escape
©2010 Scott Bischoff


Slow conversation threatening to put me to sleep.
Trapped at a party of posers, egos thirty miles deep
I'm tuning out some pretentious guy
Whose every pompous word just makes me want to die
I start to smile, while I plot my urgent get away

CHORUS:
I'm PLANNING MY ESCAPE
Got to try to break free
If I stay I'm going to lose control
Scream out loud and show my brutal honesty

I'm on the job, it's Friday and I'm barely alive
I put in 80 hours this week, the clock is creeping towards five
I know the boss is going to ask me to stay
He'll try to sell me on the perks of all the OT pay
But if I sneak out now the weekend starts without delay

FULL CHORUS:

I'm PLANNING MY ESCAPE
Got to try to break free
I'm in a place that I dread and I don't belong
And I'm dreaming of a way to leave
I'm PLANNING MY ESCAPE
Where could my exit be?
If I stay I'm going to lose control
Scream out loud and show my brutal honesty

It's a quarter to eight, I'm on a bad blind date
And every moment seems to crawl
She's like Gary Shandling in drag staring back at me
Her whining and her preaching goes on and on
Documenting every man who had done her wrong
I've got the check and I plan to be gone by 8:03.

REPEAT CHORUS:
