lyrics 📃

robert's got a quick hand
he'll look around the room,
he won't tell you his plan
he's got a rolled cigarette
hanging out his mouth,
he's a cowboy kid
yeah, he found a six-shooter gun
in his dad's closet with
a box of fun things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you, wait
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, and he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice
I've waited for a long time
Yeah, the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
And say, "Your hair's on fire, you must've lost your wits," yeah
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
Run, run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-run
Run, run, ru-run, run
all the other kids
with the pumped-up kicks
you better run, better run,
outrun my gun
all the other kids
with the pumped-up kicks
you better run, better
run faster than my bullet
all the other kids
with the pumped-up kicks
you better run, better run,
outrun my gun
all the other kids
with the pumped-up kicks
you better run, better
run faster than my bullet
all the other kids
with the pumped-up kicks
you better run, better run,
outrun my gun
all the other kids
with the pumped-up kicks
you better run, better
run faster than my bullet
