Quick Escape

(álbum: Gigaton - 2020)

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

Yeah, yeah

(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had)

Crossed the border to Morocco
Kashmir to 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 across 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
And avoided this one-way flight

(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to)
