While I powder my nose
He will powder his gums
And if I try to get closer
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 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

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..

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 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

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,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?
Till we're old and grey
I don't wanna be alone
When these bones decay

Run,run,run,run..
Oh run,run,run,run..
Run,run,run,run..
Ooh 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 closer
He's 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.
