Sitting up Straight
Escape the Dusk: A Journey on the Back of a Bus
Lyrics
Sitting up straight on the back of a bus
Feeling alert and attentive while seated at the back of a bus
Mimicking time as evening turns to dusk
Imitating the passage of time as the evening transitions into dusk
Well, look at the boy with his face to the floor
Observing a boy with a downcast face
Have a little smoke just to pass the time of the day
Indulging in smoking as a way to pass the time
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or excitement
He's like me, he'd do anything to get away
Identifying with the boy, willing to do anything to escape
I know, can you be there every day?
Questioning the possibility of being there every day
I know I can believe in you
Expressing belief in oneself
It means everything and every power to me
Stating that something or someone is of great importance and empowerment
Sitting up straight on the back of a bus
Repetition of the initial situation on the back of a bus
Mimicking time as evening turns to dusk
Reiterating the passage of time as evening turns to dusk
Well, look at the boy with his face to the floor
Repeating the observation of a boy with a downcast face
Have a little smoke to pass the time of the day
Repeating the act of smoking to pass the time
Hey, hey
Expressing excitement or emphasis
Hey, hey
Repetition for emphasis
He's like me
Reiterating the identification with the boy's desire to escape
He'll do anything to get away
Confirmation of the willingness to do anything to escape
I know, can you believe it
Reaffirmation of the belief or astonishment
Everyday I know I can believe in you
Reiterating the daily belief in oneself
It means, everything and every power to me
Emphasizing the significance and empowerment of something or someone
Sitting up straight
Repetition of the initial situation and setting on the back of a bus
Sitting up straight
-Sitting up straight
-Sitting up straight
-Sitting up straight
-On the back of a bus
-On the back of a bus
-On the back of a bus
-On the back of a bus
-On the back of a bus
