You better run You better run and run and run
|
You better run You better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
You better run You better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
You stand before your maker
|
In a state of shame
|
Bacause your robes are covered in mud
|
While your kneel at the feet
|
Of a woman of the street
|
The gutters will run with blood
|
They will run with blood!
|
You better run, you better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
You better run, you better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
In the days of madness
|
My brother, my sister
|
When you're dragged toward the Hell-mouth
|
You will beg at the end
|
But there ain't gonna be one, friend
|
For the grave will spew you out
|
It will spew you out!
|
You better run, you better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
You better run, you better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
You'll be working in the darkness
|
Against your fellow man
|
And you'll find you're called to come forth
|
So you'll scrub and you'll scrub
|
But the trouble is, bud
|
The blood it won't wash off
|
No, it won't come off!
|
You better run, you better run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
You better run, you better run
|
You better run and run and run
|
You better run to the City of Refuge
|
