Escape
Holmes Rupert Lyrics

I was tired of my lady
The singer was fed up with his long-time partner.

We'd been together too long
Their relationship had lasted for so long that it became boring.

Like a worn out recording
Their relationship was like a broken record that kept repeating.

Of a favorite song
Their relationship used to be like a favorite song but now it is old.

So while she lay there sleeping
While his partner was asleep,

I read the paper in bed
He read the newspaper in bed

And in the personal columns
And he saw an ad in the personals section...

There was this letter I read
...that caught his eye.

"If you like piña coladas
The ad read 'if you enjoy pina coladas'...

And getting caught in the rain
...and you enjoy getting caught in the rain...

If you're not into yoga
...and you don't do yoga...

If you have half a brain
...and you're not an idiot...

If you like making love at midnight
...and you like having sex at midnight...

In the dunes on the cape
...on a beach...

Then I'm the love that you've looked for
The writer of the ad claims that they are the person the reader has been seeking.

Write to me, and escape"
...and they should contact the writer of the ad to escape from their mundane life.

I didn't think about my lady
The artist didn't think about his partner

I know that sounds kind of mean
He is aware that this could be construed as cruel

But me and my old lady
But the singer and his partner...

Had fallen into the same old dull routine
...have fallen into the same monotonous routine.

So I wrote to the paper
The artist wrote his own ad in response...

Took out a personal ad
...and placed it on the personals section of the paper.

And though I'm nobody's poet
The singer isn't a poet

I thought it wasn't half bad
But he felt good about his ad anyway.

"Yes, I like piña coladas
His ad begins with 'yes, I like pina coladas'...

And getting caught in the rain
...and getting caught in the rain...

I'm not much into health food
...he isn't into health food...

I am into champagne
...but he does enjoy champagne.

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
He set up a meeting time for the next day...

And cut through all this red tape
...and wants to skip all the mundane tasks involved in meeting someone new.

At a bar called O'Malley's
He chose a specific location, a bar called O'Malley's.

Where we'll plan our escape"
And that's where they'll plan their escape together. They will run away from their mundane lives.

So I waited with high hopes
The next day, the artist waited with high hopes.

And she walked in the place
His partner walked in the bar...

I knew her smile in an instant
...and the singer immediately recognized her smile.

I knew the curve of her face
He even knew the curve of her face.

It was my own lovely lady
It turned out that his partner was the one who answered his ad.

And she said, "Aw, it's you"
She was happy to see him too.

Then we laughed for a moment
They share a humorous moment.

And I said, "I never knew"
The artist says he never knew she was into this kind of adventure.

"That you liked piña coladas
She liked pina coladas as well...

And getting caught in the rain
...and getting caught in the rain...

And the feel of the ocean
...and enjoyed the feel of the ocean...

And the taste of champagne
...and was into champagne.

If you like making love at midnight
She is into making love at midnight, too...

In the dunes on the cape
...in the dunes on the cape, Just like he is.

You're the lady I've looked for
He tells her she is the lady he was looking for in the personal ad.

Come with me, and escape"
The artist invites her to come with him to escape their boring routine.

"If you like piña coladas
The song ends with repetition of the first verse...

And getting caught in the rain
...and getting caught in the rain...

If you're not into yoga
...if you don't like yoga...

If you have half a brain
...if you aren't foolish...

If you like making love at midnight
...if you enjoy making love at midnight...

In the dunes on the cape
...in the dunes on the cape...

Then I'm the love that you've looked for
...then the singer is the love that the listener has been searching for...

Write to me, and escape"
...and they should get in touch with the singer to escape their monotonous life.
