Tell the taxi driver pull up over there Sprint down the street and we don't pay the fare Onto the district line, force open the door There's loadsa seats free but we cotch on the floor Last night we both died a death Just flowed til no cider left Jumped out the wrong side of bed Now another night of wrong lies ahead, ha To be a kid again, Nancy and Sid again Need medicine, cut out the middle men Run free, only way to get rid of them Never gonna catch us We're on the run And I'm about to lose it Shes like a gun And she ain't afraid to use it We'll catch our very last train Light our very last flames And we'll knock it all back and forget our names Cos its our last night And its one last fight We're the last ones The last ones standing Go tell the waitress, we'll have 2 rum and cokes Ask for the bill and then we'll split when she goes Out the fire exit wearing some strangers coat We'll sing it out til we're sore in the throat This ain't child's play like pass the parcel or Build a castle, just a couple of rascals who Go harder, live faster Fight til the end like Jason's Argonauts Cos life's a carnival There's no reason, motives marginal Don't care if we're cold and starvin' We'll still be laughin' when We're on the run And I'm about to lose it Shes like a gun And she ain't afraid to use it We'll catch our very last train Light our very last flames And we'll knock it all back and forget our names Cos its our last night And its one last fight We're the last ones The last ones standing We're on the run We'll catch our very last train Light our very last flames And we'll knock it all back and forget our names Cos its our last night And its one last fight We're the last ones The last ones standing
