Letra de Run On de Moby:


Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
my head got wet in midnight dew.
Great God I been down on my bended knees
talking to a man from Galilee.
Michael spoke and he sound so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet.
He put one hand upon my head
great God Almighty let me tell you what He said

Go tell that lonesome liar
go tell that midnight rider.
Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider,
tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down.

You might run on for a long time
run on, dunkin' and dodgin'
run on, children, for a long time
let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down.

You might throw your rock, hide your hand
work in the dark with your fellow men,
sure as God made you rich and poor
you're gonna reap just what you sow.

You might run on for a long time
run on, dunkin' and dodgin'
run on, children, for a long time
let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

Some people go to church just to sit in a file
trying to make a date with thy neighbor's wife
brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
you better leave that woman alone.
