High Road Songtext
von CocoRosie

Run, run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods
Run, run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods

Splintered into many pieces
Bruised at the hips and at the creases
I ran away and pray the breezes
Carry me beyond the tresses
Skinned my knees, a bloody warning
Run little girl, for man is hunting
A raven shot, a silver arrow
Run little girl, the path is narrow

On the high road
Never say die
Blind to the world
One over eight
Drunk as a lark


It comes to blows
Hard knock life
The story goes
Never cry wolf
Don′t tell lies
Don't let the boys
Between your thighs

Run, run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods
Run, run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods

Hunter is a lonely heart
Guard me forest in your dark
Dodging hands, I slip between
Slow motion just like a dream
Invisible I make escape
Run little girl, the voices say
A flash of red, a bloody warning
Run little girl, for man is hunting

On the high road
Never say die
Blind to the world
One over eight
Drunk as a lark


It comes to blows
Hard knock life
The story goes
Never cry wolf
Don′t tell lies
Don't let the boys
Between your thighs

All in a row
Girls brown eyed
Face your demons with open eyes
High on the road, daddy don't go
Life knocks hard when you′re gone
