Lyrics Midlake – He Tried To Escape

He tried to escape once in a balloon x2
On the foggiest day he decided not to stay
The ground below held his life not long ago
And through the fog the ground, it disappeared

He felt he had made it and starts to come down
A crowd of people that followed were cheering loud
But then something went wrong and he couldn’t get back anywhere
And then he landed just inside the gates
The monocle men carried him away
