lyrics

Pink slips and parting gifts, accolades to go shopping with
On the race track with options stacked,
Rocket skates and a hall pass

Why the long face sad sack
We'll make an escape at last
Why the long face sad sack
It's time to make tracks
See you in the hatch
Out the back

On a broom stick, when it's time to split
Across the sky with a magic trick

In my nap sack, compass and maps
Jumpsuit pressed and packed
Book of matches stashed
Take a stab, but let's work fast

So please just leave if you got better things to do than pester me
I plead, in utter disbelief, please just leave
It's obscene, if you've got better things to do than pester me

Hard facts from the wise old sage, signed to law by the magistrate
When the last laugh jumps off the page, they'll pay us back in spades
Tit for tat for days, done with grace

This game of cat and mouse is a perpetual war

So please just leave if you got better things to do than pester me
I plead, in utter disbelief, please just leave
It's obscene, you've got better things to do than pester me

When we flee from the menagerie, in the cover of night when the guard's asleep
We'll beat feet, but be discrete walking out his majesty

Come ancient history I’ll look back and there you’ll be, believe
Caught and then released and let me be

This game of cat and mouse is perpetual war

So please just leave if you got better things to do than pester me
I plead, in utter disbelief, please just leave
It's obscene, you've got better things to do than pester me
