Hold me baby don’t you let me run
This midsummer rain makes my head
Feel like a loaded gun.
See 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
See my lover at the screen door
Moving softly in the kitchen light
But she won’t see me.
Hold me baby don’t you let me run
Now, now
Hold me baby don’t you let me run
Don’t me deep like I’m the only one.
Hit 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.
Deeper deeper let the radio just play.
