There's a barking dog
Behind every corner
A spicy horseradish
Dancing on its tongue

God, give me the guts
To jump the fence
Outside of town

My feelings want to escape
From this broken glass

The man behind the door asks
"Why run away?"
I can only reply with a boring answer
The night asks again
"Why run away?"
I'll reply with curse words
And a full mouth

Jack took Jill up the hill
To steal some curds and way
Behind the rolling fakes
There's grinning in the shadows

Why dash the truth
Away from words
You already know?

My feelings want to escape
The shadows on the page

She'll come behind the door and ask
"Why run away?"
I can only reply with a boring answer
Give me a kiss Mary and ask again
"Why run away?"
I'll tug on your hand
And take youinto my shadow
