The Chase

from Pioneering by A Metropolitan Guide

/

lyrics

Cross that busy highway right around the bend
To justify beginning you need to justify your end
The thief made his call in the middle of the night
saying “brother, we’re too good for the others to find
let’s give’em a chance and leave some evidence behind”

The thief he gave his loyalty threw allegiance behind
“The others will rise against us” was his battle cry
But as each light went flashing by he dove for cover
As if each light was a chance to dodge an ex-lover
“Can’t take the risk I might have actually loved her”

But then he said “No, it’s not about you saving face
or trying to make them understand in each and every place
No, brother it’s all in the chase”

They had their chance to catch us, time and again
but where do you turn when you’ve got nothing to believe in
You build your own empire and build it up strong
Then you torch it to the ground like there was nothing all along
Life’s about what’s here, not what’s come and gone
