Quick Escape

[Intro ]
  
 

 D                     E 
Reconnaissance on the corner 
       D                 E 
In the old world not so far 
D                      E 
First we took an aeroplane 
        D          E 
Then a boat to Zanzibar 
  
A 
Queen cranking on the blaster 
  
And Mercury did rise 
E 
Come along where we all belonged 
  
You were yours and I was mine

  D                      E 
Crossed the border to Morocco 
 D                 E 
Kashmir then Marrakesh 
     D                        E 
The lengths we had to go to then 
            D                 E 
To find a place Trump hadn't fucked up yet 
  
 A 
Living life on the back porch 
  
Lifting rocks to make a wage 
E 
Every sunset paid attention to 
  
Not a starry night went to waste

E 
And here we are, the red planet 
  
Craters across the skyline 
  
A sleep sack in a bivouac 
  
And a Kerouac sense of time 
  
C                      A 
And we think about the old days 
C                        A 
Of green grass, sky and red wine 
  E 
Shouldn't known, so fragile 
  
And avoided this one-way flight
