Run For Cover Lyrics

Run for cover, run for shade though the heat's blistering

Buddy, you don't owe me a thing.

Light your light in some tower, if it dims within the hour

Buddy, you don't owe me a thing.

Treading high on some wine might suit you just fine

But buddy, buddy,... , you don't owe me a thing.

So cross me up or cross me down

The only way that I'll be found

Is when I'm feeding worms beneath the ground.

From one to ten all greedy men

May eat away the crust again

But only I will know what's in the pie.

Sealing wax and poker face

I learned to keep the extra ace

And I won't fall off that precipice again, no.

No hawk-eyed hunter ever shot

Or picked a better spot to see

How hot the game has got beneath you.

Run for cover, make it plain, run you over, try to stop this train

Buddy, you don't owe me a thing.

Stamp your seal, hang your plaque, I don't give no Jumping Jack

Buddy, you don't owe me a thing.

Hang a sign upon your tail, oh I, I just use a nail

Buddy, you don't owe me a thing.

So cross me up or cross me down

The only way that I'll be found

Is when I'm feeding worms beneath the ground, yeah.

From one to ten all greedy men

May eat away the crust again

But only I will know what's in the pie.

Sealing wax and poker face

I, I learned to keep the extra ace

And I won't fall off off that precipice again.

No hawk-eyed hunter ever shot

Or picked a better spot to see

How hot the game has got beneath you.

Got to get the walkers out the way of the train

Got to get the walkers out the way of the train

Got to get the walkers out the way of the train
