It got away, yea, it got away
He wasn't quite the speed of light and the squirming coil
Forge the coin and lick the stamp, little jimmy's off to camp
It got away, yea, it got away
I'd like to lick the coil some day like Icarus, who had to pay
It got away, yea, it got away
It got away, yea, it got away
The sun tips off the monarch's suit from sequined sash to shiny boot
Jimmy holds the tannis root, the forest's tasty nectar shoot
And sent him down the crooked street
It got away, yea, it got away
Stun the puppy, burn the whale, bark a scruff and go to jail
When he returns, the birth's complete
It got away, yea, it got away
The muscles flex the mother's ring, they fasten children to her king
I saw Satan on the beach trying to catch a ray
With melting wax and feathers brown and he tasted it on his way down
