lyrics

We weren't anywhere, we weren't anyone
When our plane arrived
We stole through customs and out of our lives

Our felony's the air we breathe
Our shadow ran too high
We broke the old world, now we gotta fly

Lights out, we're back on the run again
Lights out, oh we never thought we'd be
Running off from the Blood and Soil mafia
Never ever leave the lights on, never ever leave the lights on

Back home they hate us, it's like we're famous
It's like the ancient dream
Come back to running forever and ever
We saw it on the interstate, the heavy trucks and traffic stops
And all across the forty-eight the monkeys are unstoppable
Come back to running forever and ever

Lights out, we're back on the run again
Lights out, oh we never thought we'd be
Running off from the Blood and Soil mafia
Never ever leave the lights on, never ever leave the lights on

Lie down like you're running from a camera
Lie down, keep your big face out of sight
Lie down, we're miles from the border wall
Never ever leave the lights on, never ever leave the lights on

Never leave the lights on - light's on!
Never leave the lights on - light's on!
Never leave the lights on - light's on!
