Barenaked Ladies
Fox On The Run
She walks through the corn leading down to the river
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
This woman tempted down in paradise hall. (That doesn't sound too bad.)
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
Now I'm like a lonely fox cause I need a place to hide
You know, she walks through the corn leading down to the river
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
You know, she took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run. (boy)
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
We'll drink a glass of wine and fortify the soul
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know. (great friends)
I've seen a string of girls who have put me on the floor
The game is nearly over and my hounds are at my door
You know, she walks through the corn leading down to the river
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
You know, she took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
Like a bird (like a bird) on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I'm tried (I'm tried) in my ways
To be free
Hit it!
I wanna rock right now
I'm a Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm a man, no, I'm not the loser
To be an M.C. is what I chooser
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I don't know (I don't know) cause
It takes two (It takes two, It takes two) to make a thing go right
