Lyrics
The Getaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well this thing that we had built
Was flaying into shreds
It was sharp and it was dry
Like the hair on a shrunken head
And all the king's men
Spread the pieces on the floor
By the time they fit together
We had forgotten what they were for
Pretending like she's beautiful
In the pictures I can see
But she only picks the good ones
That's more than I can say for me
But that's the way it always starts
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
Always making out like bandits
Until you getaway and it falls apart
It falls apart
You're always dressed up like a priest
You're always drilling through the wall
Cracking the safe and skipping town
While poor Rosemary takes the fall
You're always looking for the future
Rinsing out the dye
Looking for a moral to the story
That sounded good and happened to rhyme
Rosemary on the gallows
Dressed like nothing's wrong
No funeral no flowers
For an outlaw in a song
But that's the way it always starts
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
Always making out like bandits
Until you getaway and it falls apart
It falls apart
But that's the way it always starts
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
Always making out like bandits
Until you getaway and it falls apart
It falls apart
But that's the way it always starts
That's the way it always starts
That's the way it always starts
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
