Run For Your Life

from Beasts by The Stink

/

lyrics

The sun is setting on the bay side,
the men are hauling their lines,
and empty nets ain't a great sign when you got mouths to feed
Pretty soon it's on the grapevine,
and it's on everyone's minds:
retreat for the winter or be pulled into the sea

See, this town's got a secret:
the thing that lives in the bay,
and in the winter when the freeze sets in, he comes out to feed
When he descends on the beachhead,
he'll leave nothing alive
We can cuss all day, but there's just one way to survive...

Run, run, run
You better run for higher ground...
Run, run, run
...into the night!
Run, run, run
You better leave this island town
Run, run, run

CHORUS:
Run for your life!
We all knew that this day was comin',
so don't try to say you didn't know...
Run for your life!
Well, it seems that the beast has been summoned;
grab your things, it's time to go...

Another Winter on the mainland,
another Spring on the bay,
and then another Summer came and went and we must prepare
But young Sarah wasn't scared, stood there and declared that she would kill the monster,
and yet before she could get to the shore he was there...

and they told her to

Run, run, run
This ain't the time, girl, don't be brave...
Run, run, run
don't try to fight!
Run, run, run
Don't think of all the lives you'd save
Run, run, run

Run for your life!
We all knew that this day was comin',
so don't try to say you didn't know...
Run for your life!
Well, it seems that the beast has been summoned;
grab your things, it's time to go...

But it was too late; they couldn't run away
The beast was blocking out the sky
But Sarah stood her ground, and held the beast at bay;
her arrow pierced him in the eye,
and he went down, down, down, down, down, down
down to the ground
But when the beast was dead and gone,
his mother then descended on the town...

Run for your life!
