Sixto Rodriguez - Can't Get Away Lyrics
Born in the troubled cityIn Rock and Roll, USAIn the shadow of the tallest buildingI vowed I would break awayListened to the Sunday actorsBut all they would ever sayThat you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayNo you can't get away from itNo you can't get awaySchooled on the city sidewalksColdness at every turnKnew I had to find the exitsI never, ever would returnScoffed at the prophet's omensThat said I would live to learnThat you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayNo you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayGoing unaided toward the west coastStopped in the sleepy townLeft my change and walked outI didn't even turn aroundWhat they were getting next toWas that old familiar soundThat you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayNo you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayIn a hotel room in AmsterdamOn a wild and windy August nightAs a cloud passed over a cold moonMy heart was seized with terror and frightSeeping up through the floorboardsComing in through the wallsComing in through the doorwayRinging up and down the hallsThat you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayNo you can't get away from itNo you can't get awayNo you can't get awayNo you can't get awayNo you can't get away...
