Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, it's a sticky situation
Such a small world after all
Except for the space between us
A gentleman ceremoniously waiting
To the west of the Berlin Wall
Through the great divide
While you slept in my T-shirt on the other side
[Verse 2]
Oh, but I never saw it coming
Oh, it was written on your face
Oh, and what are we becoming?
Now it's too late to stay
Gotta run
Get away
(Get away, get away, get away now)
(Now, ay, ay)
[Verse 3]
Oh no, Houston now we have a problem
Brer Rabbit lit the dynamite
And that sucka 'bout to blow
A chivalrous hand
Mister Magic to the rescue
Fairy godfather all in white
Through the private door
Living happily ever after
Forever more
[Verse 4]
Oh, but I never saw it coming
Oh, it was written on your face
Oh, and what are we becoming?
Now it's too late to stay
Gotta run
Get away
[Verse 5]
Ooh, we knew that it was reckless to begin
Oh, but still we threw our caution to the wind
Oh!
[Verse 6]
Oh, but I never saw it coming
Now it's too late to stay
Gotta run
Get away
Now it's too late to stay
Too late to stay
