escape




but he didn't go back
it almost always made him smile
with joyous digs in the ribs

he escaped from the bughouse
bringing only empty rooms
the outcome was never in doubt

he presented it to the government as genuine
but he didn't go back
now you're a murderer

almost always with a smile
now you're a murderer too
it almost always made him smile

escaped from the bughouse
and gave me that smile
like a crazed animal

"i owe you, johnny, i won't forget you."

like a crazed animal
yeah, like a real crazed animal

with joyous digs in the ribs
we marched a long time
it's much better for your health

the outcome is never in doubt
like a crazed animal
it always makes him smile

joyous digs in the ribs
now you're a murderer
it's much better for your health
