Escape-Ism
I was talking to a cat the other night,
He said what everybody is looking for,
what everybody's looking for today,
they're looking for Escape-Ism.
Heh. Heh.
Ain't it good to you? (Band: "Yeah")
You know what? I love to get down, Jack. And when I get down, y'understand, I don't have to go into no funny bag... (mumbling) say, that alcohol, I can't, y'understand, yeah. That's the way I feel.
You know, I believe I'll get down right about here. (BOBBY BYRD: "Right on") Byrd, if I get down-- y'know Byrd, Byrd's gotta, Byrd's gotta, I mean, Byrd's gotta out of sight tune coming up.
