Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Outrunning karma, that boy
He's such a charmer
All the bugs and their larva follow
Him out to Colorado
Ten dozen hearts in a bag
Their bodies lying, he'll drag
Them down to Colorado
A modern desperado
[PreChorus]
And he'll race for miles through the night
He runs because he knows he cannot hide
[Chorus]
He's never gonna make it
All the poor people he's forsaken
Karma is always gonna chase him for his lies
It's just a game of waiting
From the church steeple down to Satan, karma
There's really no escape until he dies
[Verse 2]
Outrunning karma, that boy
Can't run no farther
It's the last days of Sparta, follow
Him down to meet Apollo
[PreChorus]
And he'll brace for battle in the night
He'll fight because he knows he cannot hide
[Chorus]
He's never gonna make it
All the poor people he's forsaken
Karma is always gonna chase him for his lies
It's just a game of waiting
From the church steeple down to Satan, karma
There's really no escape until he dies
[Bridge]
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la
[Chorus]
He's never gonna make it
All the poor people he's forsaken
Karma is always gonna chase him for his lies
It's just a game of waiting
From the church steeple down to Satan, karma
There's really no escape until he dies
[Outro]
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la
