Lyrics
Robert's got a quick hand
He won't look around the room, he won't tell you his plans
Got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth, he's the cowboy kid
Yeah, found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet in a box of fun things
I don't even know why
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Daddy works a long day
He'd be coming home late, and he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice
I've waited such a long time
Yeah, the slight of my hand is now a quick pull-trigger
I reason with my cigarette
And say, "Your hair's on fire, must've lost your wits, yeah"
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
