Quick Escape

Reconnaissance on the corner

In the old world not so far

First we took an aeroplane

Then a boat to Zanzibar

Queen cranking on the blaster

And Mercury did rise

Came along where we all belonged

You were yours and I was mine

Hey, yeah

(Had to) quick escape

(Had to) quick escape

(Had to) quick escape

(Had-)

Crossed the border to Morocco

Kashmir then Marrakech

The lengths we had to go to then

To find a place Trump hadn't fucked up yet

Living life on the back porch

Lifting rocks to make a wage

Every sunset paid attention to

Not a starry night went to waste

(Had to) quick escape

(Had to) quick escape

(Had to) quick escape

And here we are, the red planet

Craters 'cross the skyline

A sleep sack in a bivouac

And a Kerouac sense of time

Oh, and we think about the old days

Of green grass, sky and red wine

Should've known, so fragile

Avoided this one-way flight

(Had to) quick escape

(Had to) quick escape

(Had to) quick escape

(Had-)
