Shortcut To Somewhere Lyrics - Tony Banks

He was a fallen angel from the tower of babble 

Strung out on the high wire 

Another skyline drifter an immaculate stranger 

A legend for the wild west end 

So when you're running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans 

Only one thing left to do 

Take a breath slide away quicksilver 

The clean cut easy way through 

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 still fresh in our minds 

So when you've worked out the problems and you've worked out the angles 

And you've worked out what you wanted to do 

Take a breath slide away quicksilver 

The only style that you ever knew 

That you ever knew

Everyone'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 out the avenue semaphore 

Tapping out a serious distress 

To yesterdays zeros those reluctant young heroes 

Need a light to lead them out of this mess 

So when you're running in the slipstream of the ratrace veterans 

Only one thing left to do 

Take a breath slide away quicksilver 

It's a clean cut easy way through

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've worked out the problems and you've worked out the angles 

And you've worked out what you wanted to do 

Take a breath slide away quicksilver 

The only style that you ever knew 

That you ever knew 

Everyone'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?
