Irreversible

So, did you run a check around back first?
       The exit's boarded up solid, did you know?
Girl's got to see when to assume the worst

and when not. How about if you need to go
       when the way in's blocked? The fire escape?
Rusted out. Yeah there're windows although

the ground floor's barred. Anyway the shape
       you're in, you won't be up to fancy feats
or studied moves. No matter what the scrape

that landed your ass here, the open streets
       trump a hard choice you can't get reversed.
This mistake you'll die from, no repeats,

       no coming out alive, not a word uncursed.
