about

Originally written and recorded by myself and Jack Mayer in our band Pillow Of Wrongness, I always thought it has cried out for real strings - and now it has them!

The lyrics are based on the great novel Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.

lyrics

My Great Escape - lyrics by Russell Wiener

I brought you in this world for me
You’re everything I am afraid to be
I made you old and gray
Rejected and dismayed
And now with my own eyes I see

The mess I made, the mess you’re in
My selfish deeds my foolish pen
Do you believe your own foul words?
I don’t know but of this I’m sure
You’ll be better in the end

And I was your everything
And now I set you free
Now I set you free, you’re on your own tonight
And you were my great escape
I needed you with me
But now I set you free, so long, goodbye

Now take the wheel it’s time for you
To do everything I was afraid to do
The world is not so bleak
As you see in your leak
It’s all just waiting there for you

And I was your everything
And now I set you free
Now I set you free, you’re on your own tonight
And you were my great escape
I needed you with me
But now I set you free, so long, goodbye

And you were my everything
And now I say goodbye
Now I say good luck, so long, goodbye.
