The Bolter
[00:04.77] By all accounts, she almost drowned
[00:07.16] When she was six in frigid water
[00:09.55] .
[00:13.01] And I can confirm she made
[00:14.87] A curious child, ever reviled
[00:17.52] By everyone except her own father
[00:20.44] .
[00:23.10] With a quite bewitching face
[00:25.49] Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
[00:27.88] Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
[00:30.83] .
[00:33.49] Then she runs like it's a race
[00:35.61] Behind her back, her best mates laughed
[00:38.80] And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"
[00:41.20] .
[00:45.45] Started with a kiss
[00:46.78] "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
[00:48.63] But it always ends up with a town car speeding
[00:52.62] Out the drive one evening
[00:55.80] Ended with the slam of a door
[00:57.94] Then he'll call her a whore
[00:59.02] Wish he wouldn't be sore
[01:00.33] But as she was leaving
[01:02.99] It felt like breathing
[01:05.38] .
[01:07.77] All her fuckin' lives
[01:10.17] Flashed before her eyes
[01:14.15] .
[01:17.87] It feels like the time
[01:20.53] She fell through the ice
[01:24.53] Then came out alive
[01:27.97] He was a cad, wanted her bad
[01:30.63] Just like any good trophy hunter
[01:33.55] .
[01:36.21] And she liked the way it tastes
[01:38.33] Taming a bear, making him care
[01:40.73] Watching him jump then pulling him under
[01:43.91] .
[01:46.83] And at first blush, this is fate
[01:48.96] When it's all roses, portrait poses
[01:51.37] Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
[01:54.28] .
[01:56.95] What a charming Saturday
[01:59.33] That's when she sees the littlest leaks
[02:01.72] Down in the floorboards
[02:03.32] And she just knows she must bolt
[02:08.90] Started with a kiss
[02:09.98] "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
[02:12.10] But it always ends up with a town car speeding
[02:15.82] Out the drive one evening
[02:19.54] Ended with the slam of a door
[02:21.13] Then he'll call her a whore
[02:22.47] Wish he wouldn't be sore
[02:23.80] But as she was leaving
[02:26.46] It felt like breathing
[02:28.86] .
[02:31.26] All her fuckin' lives
[02:33.91] Flashed before her eyes
[02:38.16] (Ah-ah-ah)
[02:41.88] It feels like the time
[02:44.27] She fell through the ice
[02:47.99] Then came out alive
[02:50.91] She's been many places with
[02:53.57] Men of many faces
[02:55.43] First, they're off to the races
[02:58.10] And she's laughing, drawin' aces
[03:00.76] But none of it is changin'
[03:03.41] That the chariot is waitin'
[03:05.80] Hearts are hers for the breakin'
[03:08.46] There's escape in escaping
[03:11.65] Started with a kiss
[03:12.71] "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
[03:14.30] But it always ends up with a town car speeding
[03:18.57] Out the drive one evenin'
[03:22.03] Ended with the slam of a door
[03:23.61] But she's got the best stories
[03:25.24] You can be sure
[03:26.30] That as she was leaving
[03:29.02] It felt like freedom
[03:31.15] .
[03:33.80] All her fuckin' lives
[03:36.19] Flashed before her eyes
[03:40.97] (And she realized)
[03:44.16] It feels like the time
[03:46.83] She fell through the ice
[03:50.56] Then came out alive
[03:54.01] .
