Lyrics
The Exit
Copyright Steve M. Mann 2/3/06
He?s looking for the way out of this mess
The light over the door says to go this way
But the shiny sign lied; it?s not the way out
Exit is says, but he?s still alive, old and gray
Days ago in those wonder years of youth
He was young and strong, thought he would last
The man didn?t notice until too late
Time and its grip made him fragile as glass
[Chorus]
He?s looking for the one way door
Too much time gone by
As it rushes forward
Not much time left to find the Exit
Time is cruel in its relentless pursuit
It will hunt you down until you?re pinned
Time?s winding highway has so many curves
It tempts us all and even the best have sinned
The desperate man finds a ramp ahead
Hoping it leads far from where it began
If it?s a dead end that will be alright
For you see, it?s actually part of his plan
[Chorus]
He?s looking for the one way door
Too much time gone by
As it rushes forward
Not much time left to find the Exit
