While I powder my nose
She will powder her gums
And if I try to get close
She is already gone
Don't know where she is going
Don't know where she has been
But she is restless at night
'Cause she 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 grave
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
She will button this 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 she won't tell her 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
Oh run run run run
Run run run run
Run run run run
Oh run run run run
Run run run run
Run run run run run
