Run - Seth Sentry

I used to think that the whole town was against us

Punching through hedges and jumping over fences

A couple cops on our tails, sweating and getting breathless

Yelling out threats to us, «You little fuckers, we’ll get yas!»

Man, just for skating some ledges

And plus we used to rack a bunch of stuff in '98

Jackets with a hundred pockets full of chocolates

Looking like a human piñata stumbled out of the IGA

Grew up by the beach, face-planting on skate ramps

And laughing at tourists using spray-cans

Of fake tan as if they hate sand

Just a bunch of vague little vagrants in a cultural wasteland

With a bono tucked in my waist-band (It's not mine!)

And those cops are still chasing us

Eight of us laughing while they fell further behind

Kinda dangerous when you got a schoolbag of paraphernalia

And a good behaviour bond, so motherfucker, the chase is on

I’m sorry but it’s not my fault

There’s something inside me that I can’t let go

No, I just can’t let go (Go, go, go, go)

But you don’t know, don’t know

And I just wanna run (Run, run, run)

But you don’t know, don’t know

I just wanna run

So last night I found a job site

That had enough ply to make a half-pipe

So while the tradesmen were starting bar fights

And smashing glass pints

We were climbing barbed-wire fences under floodlights

Hey man, I wonder if that dog bites?

I bet your brand new pants that it just might

Yo, fuck the ramp, let’s steal another slab of Hahn Ice

So I’ll go around the back while you distract the bottle-shop guy

Warm weather meant sweet waves and beach babes

In winter, everything changed, so we became creative

Teenagers pouring bong water through a tea strainer

Seemed a waste to roll the week’s wages into three papers

And we seem baked even without the weed vapours

Like the breeze changes we were blazing

And just freeze-framed us street skaters

Cliché dreams of maybe being famous

Knees grazed 'cause all the streets are paved with fucking cheese-graters

It’s been so long since the police chased us

Feel like going out and doing something that seems dangerous

I miss doing the wrong thing and giving false names

When the cops came and drew bats like Bob Kane

I’m sorry but it’s not my fault

There’s something inside me that I can’t let go

No, I just can’t let go (Go, go, go, go)

But you don’t know, don’t know

And I just wanna run (Run, run, run)

But you don’t know

No you don’t, don’t, don’t

I’m still there in the back of my head

Little kid telling you to shut up, shut up

I’m still there in the back of my head

Hear the (Woop! Woop!) gotta run on (Run on)

I’m still there in the back of my head

Little kid telling you to shut up, shut up

I’m still there in the back of my head

Hear the (woop! woop!) gotta run on (Run on)

I used to think that the whole town was against us

On second thoughts, maybe we were just against the town (Oh wow)

An environment that was pretty good for a childhood

And retirement providing that silence you get the fuck out

There’s a bunch of Frankensteins up on the Frankston line (It's Frankenstein’s

monster)

Dead folks scratching their neck-bolts

It’s not their fault 'cause they were just never given chances

Zombies in button-up Fila pants doing the «Thriller» dance

It’s been a long time since Frankston was on a postcard

Most of the kids I know from the Peninsula stayed

But if you don’t have a trade then everything is just so hard

Your last words are «Rosebud», like Citizen Kane (Nice reference!)

Man, it all feels like it was yesterday

I miss doing dumb shit and tryna get away

So when you see me running from the cops and getting tased

I ain’t crying, I’m smiling through a face full of pepper spray

[I'm sorry but it’s not my fault

Something inside me that I can’t let go

No, I just can’t let go

I’m still there in the back of my head

Little kid telling you to shut up, shut up (I just wanna run)

I’m still there in the back of my head

Hear the (woop! woop!) gotta run on

And I just wanna run
