Lyrics
I left Spokane with a can of plans and a bag of news.
The upper-hand's in the banana stand
You never know the plans 'till the things are done and the plans are screwed
The upper-hand's in the pre-plan
So with a busted finger and a bloody nose I found my cell phone down an unfamiliar road
Head for the exit
There's a fire
Well I gave in and I paid my taxes and they let me go
But I still won't sleep with both eyes closed
I played "Bonnie and Clyde" with a stripper for awhile then I joined this show
Now here I stand, babe, with nowhere else to go
Head for the exit
There's a fire
We can both tell there's a fire, babe
