  • Tell the taxi driver pull up over there
    Sprint down the street and we don't pay the fare
    Onto the district line, force open the door
    There's loadsa seats free but we cotch on the floor

    Last night we both died a death
    Just flowed til no cider left
    Jumped out the wrong side of bed
    Now another night of wrong lies ahead, ha
    To be a kid again, Nancy and Sid again
    Need medicine, cut out the middle men
    Run free, only way to get rid of them
    Never gonna catch us

    We're on the run
    And I'm about to lose it
    Shes like a gun
    And she ain't afraid to use it

    We'll catch our very last train
    Light our very last flames
    And we'll knock it all back and forget our names
    Cos its our last night
    And its one last fight
    We're the last ones
    The last ones standing

    Go tell the waitress, we'll have 2 rum and cokes
    Ask for the bill and then we'll split when she goes
    Out the fire exit wearing some strangers coat
    We'll sing it out til we're sore in the throat

    This ain't child's play like pass the parcel or
    Build a castle, just a couple of rascals who
    Go harder, live faster
    Fight til the end like Jason's Argonauts
    Cos life's a carnival
    There's no reason, motives marginal
    Don't care if we're cold and starvin'
    We'll still be laughin' when

    We're on the run
    And I'm about to lose it
    Shes like a gun
    And she ain't afraid to use it

    We'll catch our very last train
    Light our very last flames
    And we'll knock it all back and forget our names
    Cos its our last night
    And its one last fight
    We're the last ones
    The last ones standing

    We're on the run

    We'll catch our very last train
    Light our very last flames
    And we'll knock it all back and forget our names
    Cos its our last night
    And its one last fight
    We're the last ones
