1.	Escape Hatch Fever 04:02	lyrics
Another strange day Feeding the machine You feel so tired and wired What you’d give For some revelry A cupful of booze A bellyful of fire Wide eyes Wide minds Wide arms Pulling you close not Cold hearts Cold stares Cold dread Making you morose You got escape hatch fever You need a way out fast You got one eye on the exit door You got escape hatch fever You won’t repeat the past You’re ready to try some Risk and reward Punchdrunk Bleeding for the machine You feel So strung out and wrung out What you’d give For some revelry A pocketful of cash An end to this drought All eyes All ears All minds on you Far away Far from here Far beyond What you’re going through You got escape hatch fever You need a way out fast You got one eye on the exit door You got escape hatch fever You won’t repeat the past You’re ready to try some Risk and reward

Do I want what I want? I don’t know yet I can’t get my head straight They took the ground from my feet and I forget How am I supposed to levitate? Cos I live now Like way back when Only little victories scored Now and again Looking for life in the cracks and the chasms All the good people are holed up at home Chasing away all the ghosts and phantasms If you have a pulse, make yourself known Cos I live now Like way back when Only little victories scored Now and again And the losses We don’t ever talk about them… Oh How am I supposed to levitate? Oh, oh How am I supposed to levitate? Peering out of the smoke and the ashes I poke my head up, punchdrunk and dazed Civilisation creaks as it crashes Which way do I navigate? Cos I live now Like way back when Only little victories scored Now and again And the losses We don’t ever talk about them… Looking for life in the cracks and the chasms Chasing away all the ghosts and phantasms Peering out of the smoke and the ashes Civilisation creaks as it crashes Wo-oh Wo-oh Wo-oh Yeah yeah Peering out of the smoke and the ashes…

about

Lights and Lines are thrilled to announce the release of Escape Hatch Fever, the stunning new single by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gozer Goodspeed.

The single, set to be released everywhere on January 27th, also includes a completely different-feeling acoustic mix, and a previously unreleased B-side Only Little Victories - an acoustic demo originating from March 2021.

Goodspeed's steadily-growing army of fans will be mesmerised by the emotive and driving blues-rock groove that runs throughout Escape Hatch Fever, showcasing Gozer’s impressive guitar skills and unique mastery of melody.

Escape Hatch Fever is a tale of being overworked and undervalued, looking everywhere for that elusive ‘exit door’ and a bit of revelry,. Themes that will no doubt resonate strongly with a public currently suffering through the vagaries of another bleak January.

Escape Hatch Fever is the second track to be released from Gozer's highly anticipated album of the same name, due to be released on March 3rd, 2023, and offers listeners a significant glimpse of the kinds of delights that await them on that record. An assured and playful release from one of the most talented and original artists of our time, Escape Hatch Fever is available for pre-order exclusively on Bandcamp now!

"A lazily strummed set of blues chords and a laid-back beat set the scene for an indolent afternoon stuck indoors as the grey surrounds you from all angles. Goodspeed's distinctive vocal drawl joins in with similar energy until the chorus steps things up a little and the casual wail of a lead guitar rasps in from a back room that you can't quite locate."
- Listen With Monger
