Genius of Escape Who Will Startle & Amaze Lyrics
That night, the chandeliers
Of The Majestic
Low-lit as you bowed--
The papers all said
It was your most brilliant yet
Your most brilliant now
You sank from the surface,
Closing your eyes
Hair streaming out
Under the water,
Padlock and chain
Moving like a dream,
Twisting to escape
They held their breath with you,
Then you finally emerged
To thunderous applause
One last time death defied
And, dripping, you bowed
A little hesitant because
You must have known
Something was wrong
Everything was wrong
Under the water,
Padlock and chain
Moving like a dream
Twisting to escape
Even past the finale,
You were subtly drowning
Slow and unaware
After all the risks
And brushes with death
It ended quietly in bed
You must have known
Something was wrong
Everything was wrong
Under the water,
Padlock and chain
Moving like that dream
That you needed to escape
Of The Majestic
Low-lit as you bowed--
It was your most brilliant yet
Your most brilliant now
Closing your eyes
Hair streaming out
Padlock and chain
Moving like a dream,
Twisting to escape
Then you finally emerged
To thunderous applause
And, dripping, you bowed
A little hesitant because
Something was wrong
Everything was wrong
Padlock and chain
Moving like a dream
Twisting to escape
You were subtly drowning
Slow and unaware
And brushes with death
It ended quietly in bed
Something was wrong
Everything was wrong
Padlock and chain
Moving like that dream
That you needed to escape
