First chance

Like a bird upon release
Through the atmosphere
Like a honking flock of geese
Winter drawing near
As the fabric comes unstitched
Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched
Standing watching for the smoke to clear
First chance I get I´m gone
Moses had his tablets yeah
Noah had his ark
All I got´s a haystack needle
Stabbing in the dark
Anguished cries and old footfalls
Permeate these paper walls
Need some action all you get is talk
First chance I get
I´m gone I´m outta here
First chance I get
I´m gone I´m outta here
Here´s one for the boys back home yeah
Here´s one for your spokes
A little taste of victory
To send back to your folks
Here´s one for the fireside
The grinning groom the blushing bride
Come and feast your eyes upon the hoax
First chance I get
I´m gone I´m outta here
First chance I get
I´m gone I´m outta here
Over Lake Superior
And the Arctic Sea
Through the dark interior
The stolen territory
Want it with the cream on top
One more lifetime swallowed up
He´ll be back yeah just you wait and see
First chance I get
I´m gone I´m outta here
First chance I get
I´m gone I´m outta here
First chance
First chance
I´m outta here
First chance
First chance
I´m outta here
And it´s a long way back
From where you are
And it´s a long way back
From where you are
And it´s a long way back
From where you are
It´s a long
It´s a long
It´s a long
Through the atmosphere
Like a honking flock of geese
Winter drawing near
As the fabric comes unstitched
Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched
Standing watching for the smoke to clear
First chance I get I´m gone
Moses had his tablets yeah
Noah had his ark
All I got´s a haystack needle
Stabbing in the dark
Anguished cries and old footfalls
Permeate these paper walls
Need some action all you get is talk
First chance I get
