5 O'Clock Escape (Island mix)

Intro

Clock ticks on and on

Starting to nod out of my mind

Taking one more sip of the coffee

Time to start my travels

Chorus

Take me back home

Watch the clock wind

Let the mood roam

Leave the task behind

Leave the task behind

Interlude

Verse 1

Striped tie feels like a heavy chain

Coffee cups lining the mahogany

Counting seconds by the falling rain

Staring at the spreadsheet colony

Numbers spinning round a grey cubicle

Water cooler talks that never end

Everything is sounding so pharmaceutical

Waiting for the freeway's bend

Pre-Chorus

Clicking on the pen

I said clicking on the pen

Phone rings once again

Searching for a friend

Chorus

Take me back home

Watch the clock wind

Let the mood roam

Leave the task behind

Leave the task behind

Post-Chorus

Free at last

Moving fast

Day is past

Interlude

Verse 2

Sliding down into the velvet seat

Turning up the heavy bassline rattle

Feeling sunshine on the concrete street

Winning every little urban battle

Shadows stretching long across the hood

Red light turns to forest green

Life is finally looking good

The smoothest ride I have seen

Pre-Chorus

Humming to the snare

Hands up in the air

Shaking off the care

Love is everywhere

Chorus

Take me back home

Watch the clock wind

Let the mood roam

Leave the task behind

Leave the task behind

Interlude

Electric Guitar Solo

Bridge

Windows down

Spirit found

Lose the frown

Break

Final-Chorus

Take me back home

Watch the clock wind

Let the mood roam

Leave the task behind

Leave the task behind
