RUN

http://www.ohdaughter.com/

when i powder my nose

he will powder his guns

and if i try to get close

he is already gone

don't know where he's going

don't know where he's been

he is restless at night

he has horrible dreams

so we lay in the dark

'cause we've got nothing to say

just the beating of hearts like two drums in the grey

don't know what we're doing

don't know what we've done

but the fire is coming

so i think we should run

i think we should run, run, run

while i put on my shoes

he will button his coat

and we will step outside

checking out the coast is clear on both sides

we don't want to be seen

no, this is suicide

you can't see the ropes

and i won't tell my mother

it's better she don't know

and he won't tell his folks

'cause they're already ghosts

so we'll just keep each other as safe as we can

until we reach the border

until we make our plan

to run, run, run

will you stay with me, my love

for another day?

'cause i don't want to be alone

when i'm in this state

will you stay with me, my love

'till we're old and gray?

i don't want to be alone

when these bones decay

run, run, run

when i powder my nose

he will powder his gun

and if i try to get close

he is already gone

don't know what we're doing

don't know what we've done

but the fire is coming

so i think we should run
