You Should Be Running

You should be running while you can 'Cause sooner or later the doors are closing in Life has a tendency to build good traps And that's not where you want to find yourself The gypsie viper's got it's claw He manufactures tricks for twisting laws He knows of all the trials you've been through He could persuade you to be on the tape Baby, please Don't let him get to you 'Cause you'll be wishing your dyin' And he'll be kicking you Kicking you when you're down You were hurting when you learned That when you kiss the flame, it burns The only light that you could find was hot Inside that room you felt the torched heat And when the martyr comes to town He'll tell you 'bout when he was down You'll see the truth inside his bloodshot eyes But will you walk the road that he lays out? Baby, please Don't let him get to you 'Cause you'll be wishing your dyin' And he'll be kicking you Kicking you when you're down Baby, please Don't let him get to you 'Cause you'll be wishing your dyin' And he'll be kicking you Kicking you when you're down You should be running while you can
