Three times I had the lust to kill
clutch neck so young and fair
'n squeeze with all my might 'till
no life was there
Three times I drove the demon out
I was so evil sweat
I know beyond a doubt
he'll get me yet

I know I'm mad I ought to tell
doctors take cares of me
Drop me in a padded cell and
don't set me free
But oh how cruel that would be
for I am young and comely too
Yet dim my demon I see
there is one thing to do

Don't lie don't cry there is a reason
You crossed the gates of hell
No sign no line no new spring season
No matter what you tell

Runnin' Runnin' away
Runnin' Runnin' away

Three times I beat the fiend back
the fourth he will prevail
And so I'll seek the train track
my head upon the rail
And sight the dark and fait train
and hear it's louder roll
Coming to crush my cursed brain
have mercy on my soul.
