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 
cpparently 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 pulsing 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 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 
cnd all I could think of was, "You'll never catch me" 

Chorus:
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 
cnd all I could think of was, "you'll never catch me" 

Chorus

That was my great escape 
That was my big adventure
That was my brush with danger 
That was my clamo, 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 ...
