Lyrics
ONE OF MY BROTHERS IS OUT THERE
HE’S NOT QUITE RIGHT IN HIS HEAD
HE DOESN’T KNOW WHETHER HE’S ALIVE
OR DEAD
I TRIED TO TALK TO HIM ONCE
WHILE LOOKING FOR AN ESCAPE
AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS PSYCHO
AND IT STILL KEEPS ME AWAKE
I THINK HE SAW ME AS A SISTER
MAYBE FOR THE FIRST TIME
AND HE COULDN’T MAKE ME HIS VICTIM
OR HE WAS JUST BIDING HIS TIME
OH, BROTHER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
MAYBE I JUST DON’T WANNA KNOW
BUT MY HEART IS TELLING ME
I MUST TURN AWAY AND GO
WHERE DO I RUN
WHERE DO I RUN
ONE OF MY SISTERS CAME AROUND
HER HAIR FALLING TO THE GROUND
SHE LOOKED AT MY LIFE
AND THEN CUT ME LIKE A KNIFE
SHE HAS HER WISDOM IN HAND
AND HER DEFENSES ALL MANNED
AND SHE TAKES WHAT SHE WANTS
AND GETS ALL HER DEMANDS
I HAD A TALK WITH HER TWICE
SHE CAME OVER VERY NICE
BUT SHE WANTED MY LIFE
AND SHE CUT ME LIKE A KNIFE
I CAN’T TRUST MYSELF TO STAY
I JUST GOT TO GET AWAY
BEFORE THE SUN TURNS TO DUST
AND MY LOVE TURNS AWAY
WHERE DO I RUN
WHERE DO I RUN
AND THEIR BLOOD MIXES WITH MINE
AND GOD SAYS IT’S ALL FIND
LONG AS I KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
AND PUT IT IN RHYME
WITH MY BACK TO THE WALL
AND NO ONE TO CALL
I REACH FOR A SMOKE
AND I WAIT FOR THE FALL
WHERE DO I RUN WHERE DO I RUN
IT’S A PERSONAL TIME
INTERPERSONAL RHYME
IF THIS IS A CRIME
WELL, WAIT IN THAT LINE
SURVIVAL IS TOUGH
EVEN WITH LOVE
MY BLOOD BEGINS TO BOIL
AND I START TO THINK OF
WHERE DO I RUN
WHERE DO I RUN
ONE OF MY SISTERS, OH YEAH
SHE’S OUT THERE
SHE’S GOT RAZOR BLADES FOR NAILS
AND STEEL IN HER HAIR
AND SHE SEARCHES THE NIGHT
FOR ANY ONE WHO’S NOT RIGHT
AND SHE GIVES THEM A THRILL
BUT NOT ANOTHER NIGHT
NOT THE ONE
NO, NOT THE ONE
OTHER FAMILY OUT THERE
FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES
IN THE END SOME JUST GIVE UP
AND THE REST JUST SURVIVES
HOW I WISH IT WOULD END
AND I COULD CALL YOU MY FRIEND
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE
NO MATTER WHO YOU SEND
WHEN I TALK TO MYSELF
I MUST BE VERY NICE
I MUST LOVE EVERY ONE
AND I MUSTN’T THINK TWICE
WHO AM I RUNNING FROM
WHERE DO I RUN
AND MY NEIGHBOURS OUT THERE
IN THE DARKNESS SOMEWHERE
PLOTTING THEIR SURVIVAL
PRETENDING TO CARE
GOD ONLY KNOWS
THE RIGHT THING TO SAY
HE SAYS SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS
UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAY
WHAT I’M TRYING TO DO
IS GET THROUGH TO YOU
BUT THE LINE IS ENGAGED
AND THE BILL’S OVERDUE
IF YOU ARE HUMBLE AND WISE
YOU WILL JUST SHUT YOUR EYES
PRAYING NIGHT AND DAY
FOR LOVE TO COME YOUR WAY
AND YOU’LL SING TO THE NIGHT
OF A LOVE THAT IS RIGHT
AND YOU WON’T HURT A SOUL
AND YOU WON’T START A FIGHT
WHERE DO I RUN WHERE DO I RUN
OH, SISTER, CAN’T YOU SEE
HE JUST WANTS TO BE FREE
I DON’T CARE IF IT’S YOU OR ME
BUT SOME ONE’S GOTTA TAKE CARE OF HIM
OH, BROTHER, CAN’T YOU TELL
SHE’S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH HELL
AND SHE’S BENT TO MAKE YOU PAY
THERE’S NOTHING I CAN SAY
OTHER FAMILIES OUT THERE
FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES
IN THE END SOME JUST GIVE UP
AND THE REST JUST SURVIVES
HOW I WISH IT WOULD END
AND I COULD CALL YOU MY FRIEND
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE
NO MATTER WHO YOU SEND
ONE OF MY BROTHERS IS OUT THERE
