While I powder my nose
He will powder his guns
And if i try to get close
He is already gone
I don't know where he's going
I don't know where he's been
But he is restless at night
He has horrible dreamsSo we lay in the dark
'Cause we 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 runI think we should run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run,runWhile 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
Or this is suicide
But you can't see the ropesAnd 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 planTo run, run, run, run
To run, run, run, run
To run, run, run, runWill 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 grey
I don't want to be alone
When these bones decayRun,run,run,run
Run,run,run,run,
Run, run,run,runOoh oh, run, run,run,run
Run,run,run,run,
Run, run,run,runWhile I powder my nose
He will powder his guns
And if i try to get close
He is already gone
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
