Shortcut To Somewhere lyrics

--- "Shortcut to Somewhere" Taken from the movie "Quicksilver" ---He was a fallen angel from the Tower of BabbleStrung out on a high wireAnother skyline drifter, an immaculate strangerA legend for the wild west endSo when you're running in a slipstream of the ratrace veteransOnly one thing left to do(Slide Away)Take a breath, slide away Quicksilverthe clean cut easy way throughWell it's no Easy Rider ain't no midnight cowboyTook his place at the starting lineCos he left you behind with his reputationlone ranger, no friendships are mineSo when you've worked out the problemsAnd you've worked out the angles(the angles)And you've worked out what you wanted to do(Slide Away)Take a BreathSlide Away QuicksilverThe only style that you ever knewThat you ever knewEverybody's wanting a Shortcut to SomewhereEveryone's needing someone to look up toEveryone's looking for somebody's heroAre they nowhere to be found?Are they nowhere to be found?!With the high heels clicking down the avenue semaforeTapping out a series distressto yesterday's zeros those reluctant young heroesNeed a light to lead them out of this messSo when you've worked out the problemsAnd you've worked out the angles(the angles)And you've worked out what you wanted to do(slide Away)Take a BreathSlide Away QuicksilvertThe only style that you ever knewThat you ever knewHe was a fallen angel from the tower of BabbleStrung up on the high wireAnother skyline drifter, an immaculate strangerA legend for the wild west end.So when you're running in a slipstreamWith the ratrace veteransOnly one thing left to do(Slide Away)Take a breath slide away QuicksilverThe clean cut fast easy way throughWell its no Easy Rider ain't no midnight cowboyTook his place at the starting lineBecause he left you behind with his reputationEverybody's wanting a Shortcut to SomewhereEveryone's needing someone to look up toEveryone's looking for somebody's heroAre they nowhere to be found?![FISH] (Music by TONY BANKS)
