Lyrics of Quick Escape by Pearl Jam
verse
Reconnaissance on the corner
In the old world not so far
First we took an aeroplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar
verse
Queen cranking on the blaster
And Mercury did rise
Came along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine
verse
Hey, yeah
chorus
(Had to) quick escape
(Had to) quick escape
(Had to) quick escape
(Had-)
verse
Crossed 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
verse
Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste
chorus
(Had to) quick escape
(Had to) quick escape
(Had to) quick escape
verse
And here we are, the red planet
Craters 'cross the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time
verse
Oh, and we think about the old days
Of green grass, sky and red wine
Should've known, so fragile
Avoided this one-way flight
chorus
(Had to) quick escape
(Had to) quick escape
(Had to) quick escape
(Had-)
Writer(s): Eddie Jerome Vedder, Jeffrey Allen Ament
