“Time to Run” by The Persephone Pickers
(Listen to it here)
what’s in your mind is:
‘what’s in it for me’
you’re never satisfied
i guess you’ll never be
your beauty’s betraying
like a siren’s song
you try to stay
but you can’t stay long
time to run, time to steal
you’re not stopping now
and you never will
you’re on a new rock
you’ve got a new plan
you use a new name
and you’ve got a new man
stay til the scheme is done
and then it’s time to run
it’s heaven to look
a special hell if i touch
one gorram fine cook
but your needs are too much
your greed is your prison
of which you’ll never be free
that body, your weapon baby
you can use it on me
===================
From the creator:
“The song is folky and is about Saffron’s character flaws, specifically focusing on her constant need for more and inability to be happy in a good life. In her desire to be free she winds up in a prison of her own design.”
