[Intro: McGwire]

Man on the run

Shadow in the night

Cleanse me of the blood

Pray for morning light


[Verse 1: Rustage]

Yeah, feel the chill of the fog and the stench of the night

Time to unmask like I'm Jekyll and Hyde

Clapham, no junction

Then cause more disruption in London than general strikes

Streets gon' be lacking intelligent life

Tools on my body, I'm dressed to the nines

I be inflating statistics for murder

So they be forgetting the man, but remember the crime, ay

Bringing back the dark agе

They be at the yard, looking hard at unmarkеd graves

Stringing up a G in the Air like what Bach plays

See the sharp blade glint scarlet in the archway

Want to parley, but he looked insane

Like a fan at a football games

So famous that they took the name

I be bringing more destruction than a bakery in pudding lane

They can not Adam and Eve it

Oliver Twist - they want more, but they squeamish

I'm looking right through their weakness

Piss on a deity, fuck all that "God Save the Queen" shit

I got the smoke like a steamship

They got the smoke like an E-cig I down 'em faster than cheap drinks

Act like I'm Churchill - I'll fight on the beaches

Don't give a fuck 'bout no heroes of Greek myth


[Chorus: McGwire]

Man on the run

Shadow in the night

Cleanse me of the blood

Pray for morning light

Man on the run

All just born to die

Man on the run

The run, the run, the run


[Verse 2: Rustage]

Yeah, gonna make 'em choke like a corset, morbid

Looking at the hue of the corpses

Cutting off supply like a drawbridge, force it

Fear like the pain of a portrait

Killings in my blood, you're a tourists

Gonna kill a God like I'm Dawkins

You don't want war with the haunted

I'm putting pride in my prejudice like Jane Austen

Ain't no Olympic Games

I'm singing tunes of the death when I'm in the rain, I'm like uh

Delighting the physics pain

I'm leaving wounds in your head like a picture framed, I'm like uh

Markings of woe like I'm William Blake

I'm literally in my words when I pick your brain

When the last bit of life gone and slipped away

Then there were none like a Christie Page

Hidden Blade, but no Assassin's Creed

Cause more deaths than kids in factories

Up the racks, I keep that bag on me

Not an animal, the whole menagerie

Tragedies like Hamlet scenes

I'm in a different category, a masterpiece

I'm leaving bodies White like Chapel streets

Writing rhapsodies, grand finale as they writhe in agony

[Bridge: Rustage]

London Bridge is falling, it's falling, it's falling

London Bridge is falling, it's falling down

London Bridge is falling, the city's now in mourning

London Bridge is falling, it's falling down


[Chorus: McGwire & Rustage]

Man on the run (London Bridge is falling)

Shadow in the night

Cleanse me of the blood (London Bridge is falling)

Pray for morning light (it's falling down)

Man on the run (London Bridge is falling, it's falling, it's falling)

All just born to die (London Bridge is falling, it's falling down)

Man on the run (London Bridge is falling, it's falling, it's falling)

The run, the run, the run (London Bridge is falling, it's falling down)
