Hi Crime - Runnin' For Your Life Lyrics

On the outer banks of the south shore lies a cove where the creatures hunt
Meals here are rich. plentiful with fish, and mollusks
Once in a while, the creatures' favorite prey ventures into the cove looking for a meal of it's own
The mammal scurries in quick, knowing danger lies in the darkness.

For centuries, the cove had provided for the creatures. but greed had become rampant.
And where resources were once a gift, had now become scarce.
The lust for food had lead to overhunting, and the creatures, now fiercely competitive with each other
Venture far outside the depths of the cove
Off in the distance, near the surface. A lone mammal was spotted by the creatures
The frenzy turn not towards the mammal, but to each other
The first bite was fierce, and to the gill. Instantly downing one of the herd
Soon, the others fell too. Leaving only one. In hot pursuit

Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you're
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now

The bloodbath below had created a cloud of cover
Allowing the mammal to traverse farther than it had ever expected to go, undetected
On the lip of the shoreline, inches from freedom, the first limb extends out of the water
To it's left, a jagged display of teeth emerge from the depths as well
Hurdling further and further onto land, the mammal shuffles
But mere feet behind the creature crawls and inhales a breath
The air felt good. The chase was exhilarating. Blood pulsing
Courser and courser, ever so quickly. It had evolved

Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you're-
Runnin' for your life and you don't stop now
