runnin' too deep

keith richards

we scorch the earth for all it's worth

last night

you in ecstasy

now you don't remember me. it's runnin' too deep

it's runnin' too deep for me. the sirens and the curfews through the night

everybody's locked up tight

what's going on? it's been dark for much too long. it's runnin' too deep

runnin' too deep

you know it's runnin' too deep for me. if heaven looses face

what will take its place?

runnin' too deep

you're runnin' too deep for me. we've torn the treasure from the land

watched it turn to ashes in our hands

we scorch the earth for all it's worth

last night

you in ecstasy

now you don't remember me. runnin' too deep

runnin' too deep

runnin' too deep for me.
