While I powder my nose, he will powder his gums

And if I try to get close, he is already gone

Don′t know where he's going, don′t know where he's beenBut he is restless at night 'cause he has horrible dreams

So we lay in the dark, we′ve got nothing to say

Just the beating of hearts, like two drums in the grey

I don′t know what we're doing, I 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, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run

While I put on my shoes, he will button his coat

And we will step outside, checking that the coast is clear

On both sides, ′cause we don't wanna be seen, oh, this is suicide

But 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

And 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, run

To run, run, run, run

To run, 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, 'til we're old and grey?

′Cause I don′t wanna be alone when these bones decay

And run, run, run, run

Oh, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Ah
