Escape
Dokken · Hell To Pay [2004]
Turn the lights down low there's nobody home
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
Then the silence breaks as you walk through the door
On an on an on somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay so I won't
On an on an on it won't leave me alone
Wish that I could remember the time when I said
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
When I hold you close there's nobody home
I can hear every heartbeat whisper and woe
Turn me on with your eyes as I smile right on cue
You rehearse everything that you say an you do
On an on an on you and I don't belong
There's no reason to stay anymore so I won't
On an on an on some thing's terribly wrong
Wish that I could remember the time that we said
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
I waited so long, I'm heading for the other side
I'm losing my mind over you, over you
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
Then the silence breaks as you walk through the door
On an on an on somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay so I won't
On an on an on it won't leave me alone
Wish that I could remember the time when I said
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
When I hold you close there's nobody home
I can hear every heartbeat whisper and woe
Turn me on with your eyes as I smile right on cue
You rehearse everything that you say an you do
On an on an on you and I don't belong
There's no reason to stay anymore so I won't
On an on an on some thing's terribly wrong
Wish that I could remember the time that we said
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
I waited so long, I'm heading for the other side
I'm losing my mind over you, over you
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
Escape - Dokken
Released in 2004 on the album Hell To Pay, "Escape" is a hard rock track by the American band Dokken. The song reflects the group's enduring commitment to the power metal and hard rock genres that defined their career, particularly during their active period in the 1980s. While Hell To Pay was a later studio effort, the song maintains the high-energy guitar riffs and anthemic vocals characteristic of Dokken's catalog. It serves as a testament to the band's ability to deliver classic rock soundscapes decades after their initial rise to fame, appealing to long-time fans and new listeners alike through its driving rhythm and melodic structure.
