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 been
But 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 might 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

Run, run, run, run
Oh run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
And run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

While I powder my nose,
He will powder his gums,
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
