Lyrics:
Run from the World [Version (a)]:
She will put you down
See how hard you fall
You got to land on your feet
Better run from the woman
That done turned the devil on you
Better run from the woman
That done turned the devil on you
Well, the mattress is in flames
She's holding matches in her hand
So don't try to make the bed
Better run from the woman
That done turned the devil on you
Better run from the woman
Done turned the devil on you
She will blow you off
See how far you go
You're gonna blow back in again, my friend
Better run from the woman
Done turned the devil on you
Better run from the woman
Done turned the devil on you
She will put you down
See how hard you fall
You got to land on your feet
Better run from the woman
That done turned the devil on you
Better run from the woman
That done turned the devil on you
Well, the mattress is in flames
She's holding matches in her hand
So don't try to make the bed
Better run from the woman
That done turned the devil on you
Better run from the woman
Done turned the devil on you
She will blow you off
See how far you go
You're gonna blow back in again, my friend
Better run from the woman
Done turned the devil on you
Better run from the woman
Done turned the devil on you
The Song:
Another slow banjo tune from Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape along the lines of "In This World." This is an amusing song of frustration ("She will put you down / See how hard you fall"), though certainly Beck had a million songs like this.
