Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk down to Union Square
You never know who you're gonna find there
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do
Marguerita Passion had to get her fix
She wasn't well, she was getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
Didn't know, thinks she could buy it
And she would run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
When she turned blue, all the angels screamed
They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene
She had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do
Beardless Harry, what a waste
Couldn't even get a small town taste
Rode the trolleys down to forty seven
Figured he was good to get himself to heaven
'Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do
The lyrics RUN RUN RUN of VELVET UNDERGROUND is also present in the album The velvet underground & nico (1966)
I Velvet Underground sono stati una band rock statunitense di grande influenza, attivi dal 1964 al 1973. Fondati a New York da Lou Reed (voce, chitarra), John Cale (violoncello, tastiere), Sterling Morrison (chitarra) e Maureen Tucker (batteria), il gruppo è noto per aver introdotto elementi sperimentali nel rock, influenzando generi come il punk, l'indie e la musica elettronica. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da testi provocatori e melodie minimaliste, ha spesso esplorato temi di droga, sessualità e marginalità sociale. Nico, cantante tedesca, si unì al gruppo per il loro album di debutto (1967), considerato un classico del rock underground. Dopo la partenza di Cale nel 1968, i Velvet Underground continuarono a registrare con Doug Yule (basso, tastiere). Il loro lavoro più famoso è probabilmente "The Velvet Underground and Nico", prodotto da Andy Warhol. Altri album importanti includono "White Light/White Heat" (1968) e "Loaded" (1970), quest'ultimo che raggiunse un discreto successo commerciale. Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo, Lou Reed intraprese una carriera di successo come solista, mentre gli altri membri continuarono a collaborare con diversi artisti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
