Run Me Down Lyrics

Run me down

Like a bull

Like a podiphile

Run me long

Run me slow

Run the one hour mile

And coddling her baby

She'll never cut that cord

In bed she dreams that maybe

This price she can afford

To grip so firm and tight

And never keep

Her promise to the night

Run me down

Like a bull

Like a podiphile

Run me long

Run me slow

Run the one hour mile

Run me off

Of a cliff

Of this precipice

Run me soft

Run me stiff

Run me just like this

And swaddling her baby

In muddied cloth and twine

His breath is stale and lazy

Upon her winding spine

He up the ladder crawls

To see beyond

Her shoulder round and small

But when he's cut

He will be sure to fall
