He Tried To Escape
Midlake

He tried to escape once in a balloon

He tried to escape once in a balloon


On the foggiest day he decided not to stay

The ground below held his life not long ago

And through the fog, the ground, it disappeared


He felt he had made it and starts to come down

A crowd of people that followed were cheering loud


But then something went wrong

And he couldn't get back anywhere

And when he landed just inside the gates

The [Incomprehensible] and carried him away
