ERASE​/​ESCAPE

from CAR CRASH EYES EP by NEMO

/

about

This charming little pop track was written especially for inclusion on this EP. It serves as a postive post script story to the love affair described in the previous song, 'Car Crash Eyes'.

lyrics

Jenny was frightened, escape was not so easy
She could not drag herself away
There's no need to be foolish, control is not the answer
Use other things to make her stay

And when she reaches out beyond the normal boundaries
This is the dawning of the essence of her lifetime
Someone will tell her to..

Erase, she said.
A necessary evil to escape it all
Now nobody will ever need to know

Disown the asylum, expel all foreign objects
Someone within will take your place
Crank up the attention you get so used to losing
So many things can be arranged

And when the moon is on a different kind of journey in her mind
Then someone else can help...

Erase, she said.
A necessary evil to escape it all
And wipe the distant memory from inside her shell
She'll never have to answer to herself at all
Now nobody will ever need to know

And when she reaches out beyond the normal boundaries
This is the dawning of the essence of her lifetime
Someone will tell her to...

Erase, she said.
A necessary evil to escape it all
And wipe the distant memory from inside her shell
She'll never have to answer to herself at all
Now nobody will ever need her
Nobody will want to see her
Nobody will ever let her go
