Shortcut To Somewhere lyrics

He was a fallen angel from the Tower of Babble
Strung out on the high wire
Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger
A legend for the wild west end
So when you`re running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans
Only one thing left to do
Take a breath slide away Quicksilver
The clean cut easy way through

It`s no Easy Rider ain`t no Midnight Cowboy
Took his place at the starting line
Cos he left you behind with his reputation
Lone Ranger still fresh in our minds
So when you`ve worked out the problems and you`ve worked out the angles
And you`ve worked out what you wanted to do
Take a breath slide away Quicksilver
The only style that you ever knew

Everyone`s wanting a shortcut to somewhere
Everyone`s needing someone to look up to
Everyone`s looking for somebody`s hero
Are they nowhere to be found?

With the high heels clicking out the avenue semaphore
Tapping out a serious distress
To yesterdays zeros those reluctant young heroes
Need a light to lead them out of this mess
So when you`re running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans
Only one thing left to do
Take a breath slide away Quicksilver
It`s a clean cut easy way through

He was a fallen angel from the Tower of Babble
Strung up on the high wire
Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger
A legend for the wild west end
So when you`ve worked out the problems and you`ve worked out the angles
And you`ve worked out what you wanted to do
Take a breath slide away Quicksilver
The only style that you ever knew

Everyone`s wanting a shortcut to somewhere
Everyone`s needing someone to look up to
Everyone`s looking for somebody`s hero
Are they nowhere to be found
