My Emotions were running as high,
As those of a fly who refused to die,
And escaped the clutches of certain demise,
At the hands of the owners web.
For me the web it was surely life,
An entanglement of hurdles, obstacles, strife,
Put in my way and holding me back,
Exhausting me so I give up.
I've gotta move,
And I'll do as I always do, follow my shoes.
Feet don't fail me now,
It's All Over Lockdown.
By now I have wriggled free,
From the last cob prevented my release,
The first time since four I had zero ties,
It's been a long battle with life.
And there's one thought I've considered on multiple times,
With the romance of victorious eyes,
I'm Euphoric, Euphoric,
That I can make my own way through this life.
I've gotta move,
And I'll do as I always do, follow my shoes.
Feet don't fail me now,
It's All Over Lockdown.
Time to escape and time to be free,
I booked tickets to fly and leave this country,
With no real plans or feeling the wrongs,
It's time to focus travelling songs.
From city to city and country road,
Who will you meet? Nobody can know.
A chance encounter with a soul from the north,
I would have been cold if not for her warmth.
I've gotta move,
And I'll do as I always do, follow my shoes.
So feet don't fail me now,
It's All Over Lockdown.
