The car in front follows the long way around
Prey moves predator moves
Foreshortened angels hunting me down

Halle - halle - halle
Underkill
sticks in gullets
Overkill
is personal too many bullets

Rabbi crater keyed for action hits the marks
I wish I was in Dixie
Sleet switches silence to the shredding of larks

Serifot
Combs of honey
Kellipot
Saliva's coating balls of money

You and me against the world
You and me against the world
You and me against the world
World about to end world about to end world about to end

Wind blown hair in a windowless room
A lifeline of knuckles
waddles into the afternoon
Look into its eyes
It will look into your eyes

WHAT'S UP, DOC?
WHAT'S UP, DOC?
WHAT'S UP, DOC?
WHAT'S UP, DOC?

    Made me think of te famous Friedrich Nietzsche quote :

    He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

    General Comment:“The Escape” is a paranoid vision that seems to conclude with a demonic Daffy Duck rasping, “What’s up doc?”

    General Comment:I feel like these two parts of the song

    "Rabbi crater keyed for action hits the marks
    I wish I was in Dixie
    Sleet switches silence to the shredding of larks"

    "Wind blown hair in a windowless room"

    is talking about suicide bombing

    Not sure what the link between obscure Kabbalah references and Donald Duck is though. I almost feel that the "What's up, Doc?" line is not accurate since that was something Bugs Bunny said, but I do think that the voice at the end is supposed to convey Donald Duck.

    "sticks in gullets" "shredding of larks"

    "A lifeline of knuckles
    waddles into the afternoon" Being persecuted by the Israel army?

    I'm absolutely clueless
