No Way Out
by Peter Hostage
copyright 1999 Peter Hostage
In this world of pleasure, you've got everything you need
A palace of treasure and no need to ever leave
But you got a little greedy
And now you want to take it all
There's no end to your needing
You're trapped inside those walls
There's no way out
It may seem like heaven, your wildest dreams come true
Can't you comprehend what is happening you?
From the moment that you get up
Until your day comes to an end
Your need for more never lets up
That spiral's sucked you in
And there's no way out
One day you'll wake up, and your dream's come to an end
You're all alone and helpless, and no one's looking in
Everything you've got seems so worthless
Now you know you've had enough
You want someone to share it all with
What you know you need is love
Now that's the way out
Yes, you've found your way out
