[Intro - soft harmonica] [1st Verse] Water risin’… Risin’ with no rain Sky wide open Still I feel that strain No wind blowin’ No siren sound Still that river Movin’ underground I built a levee Out of breath and doubt Told that river — “There’s no way out…” [Hook – 2X, restrained, '70s style Call-and-response] No way out… There’s no escape! No way out… There’s no escape — no escape! [2nd Verse - harmonica accents] Sandbag heart now Stacked up tall Tryna hold back Nothin’ at all Hear that thunder Deep in the chest Ain’t no danger Won’t let me rest Call it trouble Call it sin But I can’t find Where it begins [Hook – stronger] No way out No way through Run all night — It runs with you No way out No escape River movin’ Through this shape Breakin’ down Every name Washin’ clean What I became [Extended instrumental break – explosive guitar solo with thunderous drums] [Bridge] If there’s a fire — Where’s the smoke? If there’s a noose — Where’s the rope? If I’m trapped — Show the wall If I’m fallin’ — Where’s the fall? [Final Rise - harmonica and thunderous drums build up] No way out — ’Cause I’m not in No way out — No cage of skin No way out — No war to win Just the tide I’ve always been No way out… No way out… No way out… Let it all wash me away... [Outro - heavy guitars] No way out… [Stretch these last lyrics] No way out… Woahhh... Ohhhh… Yeahhhh… Ahhhhh… Woo!! No... No... no way... No Way... ...Outtt There's no hope for escape [fade out with harmonica]
