"City of Refuge (Acoustic Version)"
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run to the City of Refuge
You stand before your maker
In a state of shame
Because your robes are covered in mud
While you kneel at the feet
Of a woman of the street
The gutters will run with blood
They will run with blood
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run to the City of Refuge
In the days of madness
My brother, my sister
When you're dragged toward the Hell-mouth
You will beg for the end
But there ain't gonna be one, friend
For the grave will spew you out
It will spew you out
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run to the City of Refuge
You'll be working in the darkness
Against your fellow man
And you'll find you're called to come forth
And you'll scrub and you'll scrub
But the trouble is, bud
The blood it won't wash off
No, it won't wash off
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run to the City of Refuge
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run (you better run)
Yes, you better run (to the City of Refuge)
You better run to the City of Refuge
You better run, you better run
You better run to the City of Refuge
You better run, you better run
You better run and run and run
You better run to the City of Refuge

The Stooges - "I Wanna Be Your Dog" So messed up I want you here
In my room I want you here
Now we're gonna be face-to-face

The Velvet Underground - "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
Not a shirt right of his back

Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes...
Marianne Faithfull - "Why'd Ya Do It" When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak

Lou Reed & John Cale - "Nobody But You" I really care a lot
Although I look like I do not
Since I was shot
There's nobody but you
I know I look blasé
Party Andy's what the papers say
At dinner I'm the one who pay
For a nobody like you...
