Dm
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do but run run run
Let's run
Let's run

House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
Come on, baby, run with me
Let's run

Chorus:
Gm
Run with me
Fm
Run with me
Gm
Run with me
       D
Let's run

Em
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the
comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you
get inside

Dead President's corpse in the
driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Chorus:
Am
Run with me
Gm
Run with me
Am
Run with me
       E
Let's run

Fm
Some outlaws live by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with
the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of
the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home
We should see the gates by morning
We should be inside by evening

Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon,
Moon, moon, moon

I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon
I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
