lyrics

Escape from New York

New York’s surrounded by a wall. 
The biggest prison of them all.

Air force one crashed down to the ground
In the middle of downtown.

The president 
Has been kidnapped by the Duke.

Snake has been sent.
He’s got to take him out of here.
It’s loud and clear. 

Escape from New York.
Once you’re inside you are on your own.
You’d better work your fingers to the bone.

Escape from New York.
Don’t be late or they will blow your brain.
Hauk’s injected charges right inside your veins.

Brain has got a diagram 
He can leave this garbage can.

69th street bridge is mined.
It sends chills right down your spine.

It’s not your war
But you’re fighting anyway.
Back to the shore
Right in time to save the day.
To run away.

Escape from New York.
Cabbie, Maggie and Brain are dead and gone.
But the president is back where he belongs.

Escape from New York.
Then you make sure that you have ruined his speech.
You switched the tapes and then got out of reach.
