Don't Let Me Run

(album: Holy Smokes Future Jokes - 2020)

Hold me baby, don't you let me run
This midsummer rain makes my head
Feel like a loaded gun

He's the hunter coming through those trees
His boots leave only hieroglyphs
His dogs are made of fallen leaves

Turn the engine over, headlights shine
We're racing down this darkness
In a tunnel made of roots and twine

Dreaming, dreaming I've been bleeding all night
At the screen door see my lover
Moving softly in the kitchen light
But she won't see me

Hold me baby, don't you let me run now, now, ooh
Hold me baby, don't you let me run now, now
Hold me baby, don't you let me run
Hold me deep, like I'm the only one
Hold me baby, don't you let me run

Punch the vaporizer straight to the dome
Take a hit of holy smokes
But all I feel is more alone

God, the light, it hurts, the sun goes pale
My head is spinning like a top
My soul is like a wishing well

Hold me baby, don't you let me run
Hold me deeper, deeper, deep, like I'm the only one
Hold me baby, don't you let me run
Hold me deeper, deeper, deep, like I'm the only one
Hold me baby, don't you let me run now, now, ooh
Hold me baby, don't you let me run now, now
Deeper, deeper, let the radio just play
