"You Can't Outrun 'Em" lyrics - JENNY LEWIS

You got struck with some bad luck
There's a black cat by your side
And I'm afraid you chose the red door
With the triple 6 neon sign
And what those witch doctors do to you
I wouldn't want it for myself
After all that you've been through
Haven't you learned anything?

[Chorus:]
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
They want your head, you can't outrun 'em

And I guess two souls will meet again
When the universe thinks they should
Even if their own bloodlines
Don't run as deep as they could
What your mama put you through?
I wouldn't wish it on my enemy
Now that I am living proof
That history repeats

[Chorus:]
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
They want you dead
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em

[Bridge:]
You better talk quickly, 'cause my sister's at the door
'Cause I want to know everything
Who I am and what it's for
What the Lord has planned for you
I guess that it was meant
Wanted to get to know you
Before you were dead

[Chorus:]
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
I know you can't
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't
