City of Refuge |
| You better run You better run and run and run |
| You better run You better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| You better run You better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| You stand before your maker |
| In a state of shame |
| Bacause your robes are covered in mud |
| While your kneel at the feet |
| Of a woman of the street |
| The gutters will run with blood |
| They will run with blood! |
| You better run, you better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| You better run, you better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| In the days of madness |
| My brother, my sister |
| When you’re dragged toward the Hell-mouth |
| You will beg at the end |
| But there ain’t gonna be one, friend |
| For the grave will spew you out |
| It will spew you out! |
| You better run, you better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| You better run, you better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| You’ll be working in the darkness |
| Against your fellow man |
| And you’ll find you’re called to come forth |
| So you’ll scrub and you’ll scrub |
| But the trouble is, bud |
| The blood it won’t wash off |
| No, it won’t come off! |
| You better run, you better run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
| You better run, you better run |
| You better run and run and run |
| You better run to the City of Refuge |
