Tabitha busted out, swimming in her shell Decided that it was time to go Down for the count, the referee's ringing the bell Still Tabitha moves too slow Looks to the left, then looks to the right Double checked in every direction But nothing was in sight Tabitha made the move No she was playing games So close but still so far away Tabitha takes her time 'cause she ain't got time to borrow Tabitha waits, waits on the frontier of tomorrow Tabitha breaks, breaks away from all of her sorrow And away we go And away we go And away we go The gun shoots and away they go and so this race begins Living on the edge is a dangerous game They're in cahoots about shaking down The enemy for all that he has I never would have led with that but that's me Looks to the left Then looks to the right Double checked in every direction but nothing was in sight Tabitha made the move Now she's sitting behind enemy lines Time to crank the gear into high Tabitha takes her time 'cause she ain't got time to borrow Tabitha waits, waits on the frontier of tomorrow Tabitha breaks, breaks away from all of her sorrow And away we go And away we go And away we go Tabitha hit the ground, smushed and cracked the shell Unfortunately it was the end of the road She was brave and bold, maybe a little too well Maybe it was the man behind who enclosed Tabitha takes her time 'cause she ain't got time to borrow Tabitha waits, waits on the frontier of tomorrow Tabitha breaks, breaks away from all of her sorrow And away we go And away we go And away we go
