Quick Escape

Lyrics for 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-)
