If the lights go out in the city that's alright with me
You see the city girls dance so pretty but they got no time for me
So I gotta run. I gotta run
I gotta run run run run run run run. I got to run
Well lazy politicians, they don't mean that much to me
You see the frat boys driving down the streetcar tracks
And people dancing out on the street
So I gotta run. I gotta run
I gotta run run run run run run run. I got to run
Well they put her on the cover of a big time magazine
But I saw her lying on the sidewalk baby and she looked dead to me
So I gotta run. I gotta run
I gotta run run run run run run run. I got to run
I gotta run run run run run run run
I got to run
