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, yeahHad to quick escape Had to quick escape Had to quick escape HadCrossed 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 wasteHad to quick escape Had to quick escape Had to quick escapeAnd 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 flightHad to quick escape Had to quick escape Had to quick escape Had (uh-uh-uh-uh)
