City Of Refuge |
| I got a mother |
| I got a father |
| Diamond rations, stark white collar |
| She looks good |
| He makes the dollars |
| I’m just free to do what I wanna |
| I gotta run |
| Run, run, run |
| I gotta run |
| Mama’s at ease in socialite graces |
| Papa remembers the names with the faces |
| I can speak on the topic of religion |
| Just can’t seem to make a clear decision |
| I gotta run |
| Run, run, run |
| Run to the City of Refuge |
| I gotta run |
| I gotta run |
| Mama’s got a lover |
| Papa thinks he’s sober |
| Pray on my knees, the clouds keep fallin' over |
| Torn down the lace |
| Booze on his collar |
| They never ask if the secret’s boiling over |
| Under white sheets where all I do is wonder |
| When I’m gonna run |
| Run, run, run |
| Run to the City of Refuge |
| Where everyone is made new |
| I gotta run |
| I gotta run |
| Where there’s a mother |
| Where there’s a father |
| Adam’s on the roof and Eve is in the gutter |
| Eden’s on the far side |
| Where the circle started |
| To run with the gods, you gotta run harder |
| Run, run, run |
| Run to the City of Refuge |
| Where everyone is made new |
| Oh the City of Refuge |
| Where everyone is made new |
| Oh the City of Refuge |
| Where our burdens lay in the town |
| Where we came from |
