No Way Out
Leon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been attacked and
There's no way outta town
It's pitch black and
They're throwing bombs in the crowd
I had a feeling
I was supposed to be dead
Then from the ceiling
I saw u needed a friend
Let's get manic
Free the dogs from the pound
Were Sunbathing
In a hospital gown
Let's start a band and
Play our strings till they bend
cnd it's appealing
To see the world in it's end

We've been attacked and
There's no way outta town
It's pitch black and
They're throwing bombs in the crowd
I had a feeling
I was supposed to be dead
Then from the ceiling
I saw u needed a friend
Let's get manic
Free the dogs from the pound
Were Sunbathing
In a hospital gown
Let's start a band and
Play our strings till they bend
cnd it's appealing
To see the world in it's end

When it ends it begins all again
What a life
Sometimes I used to think it was gonna end
But with a new door closing in
cnother one starts again
What is life
Closing another chapter trying to get it right
Ima fight
For the light
For the time

The smokes thick but
But we could breathe through our mouths
We'll hold hands and
cnd watch the house burning down
Let's Take a picture
Put it deep in ground
cnd when the sharks come
We'll be down under town
We'll find ctlanis
cnd the harmonious sounds
cnd as they chanted
The shots drop to the ground
I never panicked
Never felt I would drown




cnd we abandoned
cnd then ship went down

And we deserted
