The Getaway

[Intro: Sample from Dangerously Yours] You are very young, you are clever, and you are very beautiful Because of your youth, you should be exceptionally valuable to us And I was very lonely, so I thought tonight I will have an adventure If I'm never to see you again, I can forget you in a minute, you'll see [Refrain] She's just pretending She's just pretending She's just pretending You were wrong, I wasn't I loved you She's just pretending She's just pretending She's just pretending You were wrong, I wasn't I loved you [Verse 1] Well, this thing that we had built was flaying into shreds It was sharp and it was dry Like the hair on a shrunken head And all the king's men spread the pieces on the floor By the time they fit together We had forgotten what they were for Pretending like she's beautiful in the pictures I can see But she only picks the good ones And that's more than I can say for me, ooh [Chorus] But that's the way it always starts You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts Always making out like bandits Until you get away and it falls apart It falls apart [Verse 2] You're always dressed up like a priest You're always drilling through the wall Cracking the safe and skipping town While poor Rosemary takes the fall You're always looking for the future Rinsing out the dye Looking for a moral to the story that sounded good and happened to rhyme Rosemary on the gallows Dressed like nothing's wrong No funeral, no flowers For an outlaw in a song, ooh [Chorus] But that's the way it always starts You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts Always making out like bandits Until you get away and it falls apart It falls apart [Refrain] She's just pretending She's just pretending She's just pretending You were wrong, I wasn't I loved you She's just pretending She's just pretending She's just pretending You were wrong, I wasn't I loved you [Chorus] But that's the way it always starts You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts Always making out like bandits Until you get away and it falls apart It falls apart, ooh [Outro] But that's the way it always starts (That's the way it always starts) That's the way it always starts (That's the way it always starts) That's the way it always starts (That's the way it always starts) You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts I wasn't, I loved you
