They Ran

somebody stole my lighter.
and where it go'd is higher.
i was another boy, down in another town.
armed with casino bars, tight
whores and tinseltown. but i stayed. oooo. oh but i stayed.
she had a cigarette and asked if i had a light.
out it came, and i gave it
to her, and off into the night.....
his arms were thin, and off into the
night, they ran. oooo they ran. oooo they ran.
