I remember standing 'round with the houses burning down around us-- --Shrugs. Not even ducking our heads. "Well, there goes the neighborhood and I suppose the timing's good," is all I can recall of what you had said. They never wanted compromise. And we were not too keen on listening in. We'd always ignore consequence's size. Now we're running, trying to mail our checks in. We want a means of egress. Yeah, just a means of egress. It's just a means of egress. That's all we really need right now. They're coming, cracking knuckles now, intent on cashing debts on our hides. They'll lift their dividends out of our loot unless we chase the setting sun to Telluride. We never wanted compromise So we put our neighborhood to the match. Our detractors sporting cross hairs for eyes are salivating for the thrill of the catch. We need a means of egress. We seek a means of egress. It's just a means of egress. That's what we really need right now. It's all we really need right now. It's the only thing we need right now. I remember standing 'round with the houses burning down around us-- --Shrugs. Not even ducking our heads.

Means of Egress
