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 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

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 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 her sorrow

And away we go

And away we go

And away we go
