RUN, VIRGINIA
When Virginia left Virginia, she headed to LA
She had a second cousin who had a place to stay
Pursued by shapeless shadows, she agonized her dreams
Halfway through Arizona, she wanted to retreat
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
She's on the run, so terrified
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
She's on the run
She ended up in Phoenix, the Valley of the Sun
She met a man named Manny, who hated everyone
His mind was like a riot powered by cocaine
The day he struck Virginia, she shot him in the face
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
She's on the run, so terrified
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
She's on the run
Run, Virginia, the law is closing in
Run, Virginia, while you can
Damn, Virginia, didn’t know you had it in ya
He had it coming, but it's time to disappear
Run, Virginia
Afraid of facing judgment, she fled to Santa Fe
Found redemption as an artist on a canvas full of rage
Sometimes she wakes up in a frenzy, haunted by the ghost
She knows there’s no forgiveness, just the punchline to a joke
Ooh - nowhere to hide
She's on the run, from what’s inside
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
But she's on the run
Run Virginia
