about

For my friends in Catalonia, and for Grae J. Wall, with whom I shared those wonderful tours down there.

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

the sun smells like blood
and the river it washes
the bodies down to the sea
the scent of decay
is the perfume to stay
on our minds '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 high street 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
