City Of Refuge lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics City Of Refuge lyrics (Cave) Original version on the album "Tender Prey" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (C) Dying Art Ltd. You better run You better run and run and run You better run You better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run You better run You better run to the City of Refuge You stand before your maker In a state of shame Because your robes are covered in mud While your kneel at the feet Of a woman of the street The gutters will run with blood They will run with blood! You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge In the days of madness My brother, my sister When you re dragged toward the Hell-mouth You will beg at the end But there ain t gonna be one, friend For the grave will spew you out It will spew you out! You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You ll be working in the darkness Against your fellow man And you ll find you re called to come forth So you ll scrub and you ll scrub But the trouble is, bud The blood it won t wash off No, it won t come off! You better run, you better run You better run to the City of Refuge You better run, you better run You better run and run and run You better run to the City of Refuge song lyrics
