Long Way Out

(waiting) The driver took the long way just to make a scene

Counting exits in the room,

if you know what I mean

Behind the boutique glass after the lights go down

We find our own escape,

the loudest spot in town

I've got a pocket full of promises I won't keep

Watching all the VIPs while they fall asleep

We took the long way round

Lost inside the shiny sound

Under the VIP marquee You and me,

petty and free

Exit one, exit two,

counting on the floor

But nobody's leaving, looking for some more

Behind the velvet rope,

we write the rules tonight

Shining like a diamond in the dark strobe light

We took the long way round (the long way round)
