Laura Branigan › Lyrics › Breaking Out

She breathes a sigh, watching as her life goes by
Caught in the trap of a workin'-day world
Tired of just being somebody's girl
She's feelin' her frustration buildin' up inside

But tonight, she's gonna give it up
Break the chains and let it out
Tonight, she'll say I've had enough
I'm never going back

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, she's taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

He counts the days, wishin' he could get away
Stuck in the rut of an empty routine
Nowhere to go with his hopes and his dreams
Prepare himself for the moment of his great escape

And tonight, he's gonna make his move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight, he's gonna cut it loose
Never looking back

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, he's taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

There's gonna come a time
When you just leave it all behind
Burst out of your prison and just fly away

Tonight, they're gonna make their move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight, they're gonna cut it loose
Never looking back

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, they're taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, they're taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, they're taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free
