The Final Escape-Dark Side of the Moon
I'm on the "lam", I'm on the run
Stole MONEY from a "son of a gun"
I grew up poor, it was US AND THEM
I did my TIME, won't do it again.
If I get caught, I'd rather die,
I'll gladly join THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
Maybe I'll see THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
and have no more worries, it could be soon.
I got caught during a solar ECLIPSE
I made a move, they shot me quick
into my skull, my eyes saw white
Then I could see ANY COLOR YOU LIKE.
I couldn't BREATHE, someone said, "SPEAK TO ME"
I heard sweet music, I felt light and free
While I lay dying, I could just manage
to say, "So long", even with BRAIN DAMAGE.
