Getaway

When the symphony of car horns
is suddenly but loud noise
when the train is a pain
jam packed with rude boys
when there’s a June moon to behold
but the city leaves you cold
Getaway
Getaway

When a weekend at the shore
is sunburn and sand in your bikini
when a day at the office
is more like opera by Puccini
when your beau is befuddling
but you’d rather be cuddling
Getaway
Getaway

Brownstones and gray days
a cold moon on a snowy night
smoke from your chimney
you hula dance by firelight

When your paradise brochure
is dog-eared and yet calls
when a re-run of Magnum
is blaring through thin walls
and those coconuts in palm trees
are merely pigeons in belfries
Getaway

When you’re sailing at sundown
on a bus going cross-town
Getaway
Getaway
