If All Else Fails

Well, that first dance in retrospect

Just two young lovers was taken as a slight or disrespect

They cased them from across the room

Their uniforms and unfiltered cigarettes were so in tune

While the rest of us would empathize

The rest of us could see behind their eyes

An escape, it would be wise

Miles away (Miles away)

A flair goes up (A flair goes up)

Hide and wait (Hide and wait)

'Til it all blows up (It all blows up)

Oh, oh

Well, at first light they got away

By all accounts they left no trace, the dogs found no trace

Here, keep this baby too safe with the rings

One keepsake, a picture of your face

Your face

Oh, we found ourselves out at the edge

Of the fields and rolling hills I used to play

Oh, now they're scorched away

Miles away (Miles away)

A flair goes up (A flair goes up)

Hide and wait (Hide and wait)

Till it all blows up (It all blows up)

We're still in denial (We're still in denial)

How's it go if all else fails?

So far past the dial (So far past the dial)

Where do we go if all else fails?

(If all else fails)

(If all else fails)

(If all else fails)

Through the bar code made of oak and pine

Through the landscape laced with mines

They ran, they're still on the run today

Miles away (Miles away)

A flair goes up (A flair goes up)

Hide and wait (Hide and wait)

Till it all blows up (It all blows up)

We're still in denial (We're still in denial)

How's it go if all else fails?

So far past the dial (So far past the dial)

Where do we go if all else fails?
