| On the night of my 21st birthday
 | 
| I was playing in a pub back room
 | 
| When a local dude informed me of
 | 
| My impending doom
 | 
| Apparently I’d sullied the
 | 
| Reputation of
 | 
| The best left hook in the business, now
 | 
| He’s looking for my blood
 | 
| There’s a thug in every doorway
 | 
| And it’s coming up to closing time
 | 
| The best left hook in the business puts
 | 
| His chair right next to mine
 | 
| My heart was pushing like a funny car
 | 
| Just before the start of a race
 | 
| This ain’t no time to panic boy
 | 
| Better get your head on straight
 | 
| I left my guitar on the top of the bar
 | 
| My jacket and coat on the seat
 | 
| I’m over the counter, up the back stairs
 | 
| They all thought I was taking a leak
 | 
| I fly through the air with the greatest of ease
 | 
| Out of the window and into the breeze
 | 
| I land on my feet and I’m picking up speed
 | 
| And all I could think was, «You'll never catch me»
 | 
| When you got to get away
 | 
| You got to get away
 | 
| When you got to get away, it’s true
 | 
| You got to get away
 | 
| When you got to get away
 | 
| Especially if the other guy is bigger than you
 | 
| There ain’t no rhyme, there ain’t no reason
 | 
| Just people going over the top
 | 
| The winners are losers, the losers are covered in blood and they can’t get it
 | 
| off
 | 
| I fly through the air with the greatest of ease
 | 
| Out of the window, over the trees
 | 
| I land on my feet and I’m picking up speed
 | 
| And all I could think was, «You'll never catch me»
 | 
| That was my great escape
 | 
| That was my big adventure
 | 
| That was my brush with danger
 | 
| That was my Alamo, baby
 | 
| I heard alarm bells ringing
 | 
| I heard the fat lady singing
 | 
| I seen the club when he came out swingin'
 | 
| I seen his eyes when I gave him the finger
 | 
| Those days are over, it’s been good to know yah
 | 
| You’re just a stone age daydream… |
