[The Killers - Run for Cover lyrics]
What have you gathered to
Report to your progenitors?
Are your excuses any better
Than your senator's?
He held a conference and his wife
Was standing by his side
He did her dirty but no-one died
I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
Black-fisted and strong singing
Redemption Song he motioned me to the sky
I heard heaven and thunder cry
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear
That's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
What are you waiting for
A kiss or an apology?
You think by now you'd have
An A in toxicology
It's hard to pack the car when
All you do is shame us
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous
I saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong
Singing 'the road is long'
I said 'Momma I know you've tried'
But she fell on her knees and cried
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear
That's a played out trap, man
I know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
Just to trust him with her nightmares
With her dreams she's running, she's running
Just to trust him
He got a big smile, he's fake news
Just run for cover
You've got nothing left to lose
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear
That's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
Run run
Run for cover
Report to your progenitors?
Are your excuses any better
Than your senator's?
He held a conference and his wife
Was standing by his side
He did her dirty but no-one died
I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
Black-fisted and strong singing
Redemption Song he motioned me to the sky
I heard heaven and thunder cry
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear
That's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
What are you waiting for
A kiss or an apology?
You think by now you'd have
An A in toxicology
It's hard to pack the car when
All you do is shame us
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous
I saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong
Singing 'the road is long'
I said 'Momma I know you've tried'
But she fell on her knees and cried
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear
That's a played out trap, man
I know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
Just to trust him with her nightmares
With her dreams she's running, she's running
Just to trust him
He got a big smile, he's fake news
Just run for cover
You've got nothing left to lose
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear
That's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
Run run
Run for cover
