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 ....

would you take me on a journey through your crooked mind that might give me some enlightment for i suppose that i've been blind i still think there are excuses maybe something that i missed when we built our little castle on a toyground out of sand on that rocky road to fame when things got slightly out of hand yes I've seen it all a-coming just before it hit the fan ignored all of the warnings when those dark clouds disappeared diving head on into trouble in a most unpleasant year in a most unpleasant year should have known the crop we earned after years of sweat and toil those few shiny nuggets that we scraped out of the soil they'd be gone just before sunrise leaving just a bitter taste of disappointment endless fights and a hundred broken dreams half a lifetime we did waste yes I've seen it all a-coming I'm not angry anymore I'm happy that your greediness did help to close the door helped to close the door I'm not angry anymore...
