lyrics

Meet me in the bottom, yeah, hand me my running shoes
Meet me in the bottom, yeah, hand me my running shoes
She got a bad old man, she got such a mean old man
Ain't got time to lose

Well, I hope you see me, when I come sneaking by
Well, I hope you see me, when I come sneaking by
If you see me moving, know my life is at stake

Meet me in the bottom, yeah, hand me my running shoes
Meet me in the bottom, yeah, hand me my running shoes
I think I better jump out the window, now
Said, I think I better make it out the window, now
Ain't got time to lose

Well, I hope you see me, when I come streaking by
Well, I hope you see me, when I come sneaking by
If you see me moving, know my life is at stake
She got a bad old man, she got such a mean old man
Ain't got time to lose
