(In a world where one man planned the ultimate escape... everything was under control.) (Hey! Open up! You locked the keys in the van! Mike, open the door!) We spent three months setting up the plot Counted every second on the watch Had the duffel bags packed to the brim Everything was looking neat and trim Ran out to the alley through the rain Heart was thumping like a freight train Grabbed the handle of the sliding door And dropped my jaw right on the alley floor The sirens howling five blocks down the street And we are standing on our own two feet The getaway, somebody find the keys (Find the keys) We are down here begging on our knees (On our knees) The getaway, the van is locked up tight (Locked up tight) Nobody making it home tonight (Not tonight) I looked through the glass upon the seat The silver ring was sitting looking neat Dangling right from the ignition switch I gave the window frame another pitch I found a coat hanger beside the trash Trying not to make a giant smash Sirens getting closer by the yard While Jimmy tried to pry it with a card The sirens howling five blocks down the street And we are standing on our own two feet The getaway, somebody find the keys (Find the keys) We are down here begging on our knees (On our knees) The getaway, the van is locked up tight (Locked up tight) Nobody making it home tonight (Not tonight) (Suspects are walking to the bus stop.) The getaway, somebody find the keys (Find the keys) We are down here begging on our knees (On our knees) The getaway, the van is locked up tight (Locked up tight) Nobody making it home tonight (Not tonight) Threw the bags inside and hit the gas Watching all the blue lights slowly pass (The getaway, yeah) (Don't lock it again)
