lyrics

all done and dusted now it's time to get lost
for them singers and sailors, agents and tailors
where the green eyed she-devils
pouring whiskey in pitchers
this is all going downhill
and it goes pretty fast
run boys run

stammer a hail mary on the slide down the slope

run boys run

if you need a last prayer now it's time to have your say

for the sun smells like blood
and the river it washes
the bodies down to the sea
stuck in the mud
in a war we can't win
the scent of decay
is the perfume to stay
on our mind 'til we die


the weeks feel like years
but there's always an end
to that track you stagger down
with a bottle in each hand
it's god on our side
and the devil on our back
as we linger on down highstreet
with a rope around our neck
run boys run

stammer a hail mary on the slide down the slope

run boys run

if you need a last prayer now it's time to have your say

the blistering sun makes the blood all trickle away
tramontana will tell them how this all gone so terribly wrong
if you sit on the bank of that muddy old river
you might hear him humming this song

and it goes

run boys run ....
