Capo 3
() }x2
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
