Shortcut To Somewhere

He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble

Strung out on the high wire

Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger

A legend for the wild west end

So when you're running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans

Only one thing left to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

The clean cut easy way through



It's no easy rider ain't no midnight cowboy

Took his place at the starting line

Cos he left you behind with his reputation

Lone ranger still fresh in our minds

So when you've worked out the problems and you've worked out the angles

And you've worked out what you wanted to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

The only style that you ever knew

That you ever knew



Everyone's wanting a shortcut to somewhere

Everyone's needing someone to look up to

Everyone's looking for somebody's hero

Are they nowhere to be found?

- are they nowhere to be found?



With the high heels clicking out the avenue semaphore

Tapping out a serious distress

To yesterdays zeros those reluctant young heroes

Need a light to lead them out of this mess

So when you're running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans

Only one thing left to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

It's a clean cut easy way through



He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble

Strung up on the high wire

Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger

A legend for the wild west end

So when you've worked out the problems and you've worked out the angles

And you've worked out what you wanted to do

Take a breath slide away quicksilver

The only style that you ever knew

That you ever knew



Everyone's wanting a shortcut to somewhere

Everyone's needing someone to look up to

Everyone's looking for somebody's hero

Are they nowhere to be found?
