Quick Escape

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Reconnaissance on the corner In the old world not so far First we took an aeroplane Then a boat to Zanzibar Queen cracking on the blaster And Mercury did rise Came along where we all belonged You were yours and I was mine Yeah, yeah [Chorus] Had to quick escape Had to quick escape Had to quick escape Had [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Had to quick escape Had to quick escape Had to quick escape [Bridge] And here we are, the red planet Craters across the skyline A sleep sack in a bivouac And a Kerouac sense of time And we think about the old days Of green grass, sky and red wine Should've known so fragile And avoided this one-way flight [Chorus] Had to quick escape Had to quick escape Had to quick escape Had
