Quick Escape Lyrics

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-)
