The Chase

Mary Ann found herself in some trouble
She'd never seen a man that stood so tall
The fact he was so sizable
Made him too recognizable
And that man, he wouldn't stand for that at all

Banker never punched his ticket early
Dependable to run five minutes late
Today he's bound to beat the clock
And that four-way stop seems safe to cross
If only he'd been taught to look both ways

There is nothing you can do
I am coming straight for you

Benjamin was born to breathe in water
Every race resulted in a gold
A couple laps to start the day
A trouble cramp ties up his leg
And not a soul to watch him sink below

Grinding meat all week to get a paycheck
Forty hours feels like eight-five
Hank forgot the safety tips
And that grinder, man, just grinds and rips
And to end his shift, ol' Hank, he took a dive

There is nothing you can do
(whoah-oh-oh-whoah)
I am coming straight for you

Wallace, though, he heeded every story
He knew that he was smarter than the rest
He saw the world through window blinds
"I'm stayin' here, I'll be just fine"
Until he felt that tightness in his chest

And death appeared before him staring gravely
Sadder than his average tragic case
This one stayed inside his cage
And traded happiness for age
And Death was sad, he quite enjoys the Chase

There is nothing you can do
(whoah-oh-oh-whoah)
I am coming straight for you!
