Pearl Jam - Quick Escape

reconnaissance is on the corner
in the old world not so far
first we took an areophane
then a boat to Zanzibar

queen cracking on the blasted
and mercury did rise
came alng where we all belonged
you were yours and I was mine

had to… Quick Escape
had to… Quick Escape
had to… Quick Escape
had…

crossed the border to Monaco
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 nocks 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
had…

and here we are, the red planet
craters across the skylines
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 know, so fragile
and avoided this one-way flight

had to… Quick Escape
had to… Quick Escape
had to… Quick Escape
had…
