[Verse 1]
They're tyin' a blindfold 'cross my eyes (I rest my face down)
Skidding on switchbacks near the sides (Gonna try to bust out)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Get up) Get up, (jump out) jump out
Don't wait, gotta get away
(Hop off) Hop off, (roll down) roll down
Spring up, live another day
[Verse 2]
Sprint on cobblestones past the tracks (They kept my money and my water)
Don't wanna run 'cause I want it back (But I know I really oughta)
[Chorus]
If I don't break away clean
I might stray from the scene
Make an escape when it arrives
The 555
[Verse 3]
They bought my soul for a pile of cash (Everybody else got paid out)
They're closing in, I gotta dash (I gotta find a way out)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hop off) Hop off, (roll down) roll down
Spring up, live another day
(Get up) Get up, (jump out) jump out
Don't wait, don't wait
[Chorus]
If I don't break away clean
I might stray from the scene
Make an escape when it arrives
The 555
If I don't break away clean
I might stray from the scene
Make an escape when it arrives
The 555
If I don't break, break away clean
I might stray from the scene
Make an escape when it arrives
The 555
The 555
The 555
The 555
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
The 555
The 555
The 555
