The Velvet Underground

Run Run Run

Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave

I sold my soul, must be saved

Gonna take a walk down Union Square

you never know who you gonna find there

You gotta run-run-run-run-run

take a drag or two

Run-run-run-run-run

gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

Margarita Passion I had to get her fixed

she wasn't well, she's getting sick

Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high

didn't know things she could buy

And she would run-run-run-run-run

take a drag or two

Run-run-run-run-run

gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose

hard-nailed boots wrapped around her toes

When she turned blue, all the angels screamed

they didn't know, they couldn't make the scene

She had to run-run-run-run-run

take a drag or two

Run-run-run-run-run

gypsy death and you, tell you what to do

Beardless Harry, what a waste

couldn't even get a small town taste

Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven

figured if he was good, he'd get himself to heaven

'Cause he had to run-run-run-run-run

take a drag or two

Run-run-run-run-run

gypsy death and you, tell you what to do
