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
