First Chance Songtext / Lyric

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
