Peter Gabriel - No Way Out lyrics

Saw a group of people forming

Round a figure lying down

And someone runs to make a phone call

And the man kneels on the ground

The man kneels on the ground

There's a tightening in my chest

I know that I'm drawn in

Oh God let it not be – you

Don't leave us

Don't leave like this

Don't leave me here again

I'm not quitting on you

No one else

You're not quitting on us

No running out

The colour in your shirt is darkening,

Against the paleness of your skin

I remember how you held the goldfish

Swimming around in a plastic bag

Swimming around in a plastic bag

You held it up so high

In the bright lights of the fair

It slipped and fell

We looked everywhere

Don't leave us (your eyes are bright, your blood is warm)

Don't leave like this (your heart is strong, you're holding on)

Don't leave me here again (I feel your pulse, I hold your hand)

I'm not quitting on you

There's no one else

You're not quitting on us

There's no way out

No way out

Don't leave us

Don't leave like this

Don't leave me here again (I feel your pulse, I hold your hand)

I'm not quitting on you

There's no one else

You're not quitting on us

No running away – no way out
