The Deeper You Dig · Track 9
Ska Chase
[Verse 1]
I can feel my heart beat, pumping like a ska beat
Villainous silhouette (flick) light a cigarette
Gun it down a back street, body in the back seat
And I just sped right through a red light from the rush
Can't believe I shot a cop, killed him with a single shot
But he deserved what he got
I'm a felon cause his melancholy melon popped "Hey"
Saw to misappropriate, law to cater for his hate
Hit me with a seismic (Thunk) with a night stick
Drunk on adrenalin, an officer a gentleman we
Struggle with the weapon til a slug it come to settle in his head
[Chorus]
Hey, Muchacho its time to go
We're headed for Mexico
Adios Vernaculo
Viva la destino
[Verse 2]
Wanted like I'm Chopper Reed
But they say it's a democracy
Maybe I should cop a plea
I'll never get benevolence the devil never sleeps "Hey"
Troopers wanna tackle me to
Shoot at me or shackle me
That's how the hick fuck
"Bang" got a nip tuck
Press'll be the death of me they
Render me an effigy cause
"I shot the" shell that killed a deputy
[Chorus]
Hey, Muchacho its time to go
We're headed for Mexico
Adios Vernaculo
Viva la destino
[Bridge]
I didn't know the gun was even loaded
And cocked it just went off into the air
Now I'm on the run in a ska chase
I've got nothing to lose so I don't care
Wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time
Not dead yet headed for the skyline
Listed as malicious for a mishap
I don't belong in prison with the riff raff
I won't go into a cell
I'd rather die than live in hell
Take to flight or battle with legality
Up shit creek no paddle here's the cavalry now
[Verse 3]
I'm only sorry for the kids
Who found the body in a ditch
Cause I left the son of a bitch
Eating bitumen like a liquorice twist "Hey"
Felt we'd better separate
Shed a bit of dead weight
To forget I meditate "Ohmmm"
Get my head straight
Dead if I hesitate
I get into the interstate
Pedal to the metal never
Settle til I'm dead or I escape
[Chorus]
Hey, Muchacho its time to go
We're headed for Mexico
Adios Vernaculo
Viva la destino
