Living on the Run

Early in the evening
She was lying in her bed
And she looks outside to see her lover on the stairs
He's got the money in his hands
He calls out to her, he says
"We've gotta get out, so pack the car and get the keys to the hotel
While you, while you still can"

Living on the run
Living to get one more fix before the day is done
You can try to catch me if you can
Baby, ain't it fun?
Running till you're staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
And it puts an early end to all your plans

The night is blacker than ink now
Headlights cutting 'cross the highway lines
All alone in the middle of the night
Outracing the sun and the moon, she's
Driving with her mind in the movies
Fingers gripping the wheel, and her knuckles white
And she's running for her life

Living on the run
Living to get one more fix before the day is done
You can try to catch me if you can
Baby, ain't it fun?
Running till you're staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
And it puts an early end to all your plans

Oh, no
Yeah

Kissing him paints her lips blood-red
The light turns green and she's halfway through it already
He's screaming, "no hospital"
But she's got no plan and nowhere else to go
She kicks the accelerator
And the child inside is trying to hammer a hole in her belly
Praying he don't die, she drops him at the clinic
And the pain in her is starting to grow

Living on the run
Living with your head thrown back while you're coming undone
Sprawled out across both seats in the back
Well, isn't it fun?
At a dirty truck stop for your child's first look into the sun
And he puts an early end to all your plans, yeah
Living on the run, yeah
Living on the run, yeah
Living on the run, yeah
Living on the run
