The Getaway - Ten Foot Pole

Please don’t chase me anymore

Nearly forgot just what i’m running for

I meant no harm, my gas pedal is to the floor

People watch this on tv Never thought that this could happen to me

I can’t stop now and it still seems like a dream

Never thought I’d hurt someone

Now I see you clutching your gun

You’re playing for keeps, there’s no place left to run

I had to make a choice I made it If I had another chance i’d take it

I’ve got to find a way to make a getaway

Today my future looked so bright

All it took was one red light

The sirens were close behind

My brain said fight or flight

So I ran from my mistake

Not the best choice I could make

The helicopter reminds me that this time there’s no lucky break

Please don’t chase me anymore

Nearly forgot just what i’m running for

I meant no harm, my gas pedal is to the floor

I always did things my own way

Never cared what the experts say

I thought they were so full of sh*t

I guess it’s time to pay

I always dreamed I’d have it all

Never thought I’d take the fall

And now I’ve run out of chances and all I can see is the wall
