Shortcut To Somewhere Lyrics - Singles - Fish

--- "Shortcut to Somewhere" Taken from the movie "Quicksilver" --- 

He was a fallen angel from the Tower of Babble 

Strung out on a high wire 

Another skyline drifter, an immaculate stranger 

A legend for the wild west end 

So when you're running in a slipstream of the 

ratrace veterans 

Only one thing left to do 

(Slide Away) 

Take a breath, slide away Quicksilver 

the clean cut easy way through 

Well it's no Easy Rider ain't no midnight cowboy 

Took his place at the starting line 

Cos he left you behind with his reputation 

lone ranger, no friendships are mine 

So when you've worked out the problems 

And you've worked out the angles(the angles) 

And you've worked out what you wanted to do 

(Slide Away) 

Take a Breath 

Slide Away Quicksilver 

The only style that you ever knew 

That you ever knew 

Everybody's wanting a Shortcut to Somewhere 

Everyone's needing someone to look up to 

Everyone's looking for somebody's hero 

Are they nowhere to be found? 

Are they nowhere to be found?! 

With the high heels clicking down the avenue semafore 

Tapping out a series distress 

to yesterday's zeros those reluctant young heroes 

Need a light to lead them out of this mess 

So when you've worked out the problems 

And you've worked out the angles(the angles) 

And you've worked out what you wanted to do 

(slide Away) 

Take a Breath 

Slide Away Quicksilvert 

The only style that you ever knew 

That you ever knew 

He was a fallen angel from the tower of Babble 

Strung up on the high wire 

Another skyline drifter, an immaculate stranger 

A legend for the wild west end. 

So when you're running in a slipstream 

With the ratrace veterans 

Only one thing left to do 

(Slide Away) 

Take a breath slide away Quicksilver 

The clean cut fast easy way through 

Well its no Easy Rider ain't no midnight cowboy 

Took his place at the starting line 

Because he left you behind with his reputation 

Everybody's wanting a Shortcut to Somewhere 

Everyone's needing someone to look up to 

Everyone's looking for somebody's hero 

Are they nowhere to be found?!
