Lyrics: David Gray. Draw The Line. 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
But all I got's a haystack needle
Stabbing in the dark

Anguished cries and old footfalls
Coming through 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
Here's one for your spokes
A little taste of victory
To send back to your folks

Here's one for the fireside
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

I 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

It's a long way back from where you are
It's a long way back from where you are
It's a long way back from where you are
It's a long, it's a long, it's a long
