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 the Mercury did rise

Came along where we all belonged

You were yours, and I was mine

Yeah, yeah

Had to quick escape

Had to quick escape

Had to quick escape

Had

Crossed the border to Morocco

Kashmir to Marrakesh

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
