[Part l: the last great american dynasty]

[Verse]
Rebekha rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name, and money
And the town said "How did a middle class divorcee do it?"
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
There's only so far new money goes
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
The doctor had told him to settle down
It must have been her fault his heart gavе out

[Chorus]
And they said
"There goеs the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything"

[Part ll: Run]

[Verse 1]
Give me the keys, I'll bring the car back around
We shouldn't be in this town
And my so-called friends, they don't know
I'd drive away before I let you go
So give me a reason, and don't say no

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a chain 'round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote
"I'll wait for you"
There's a key on the chain, there's a picture in a frame
Take it with you

[Chrous]
And run
Run from the law
Darling, let's run
Run from it all
We can go where our eyes can take us
Go where no one else is

[Post-Chorus]
Run, ooh
We'll run, ooh
We'll run

[Bridge]
There's been this hole in my heart
This thing was a shot in the dark
Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart
And I'll hold onto you while we run

[Chorus]
Like you'd run from the law
Darling, let's run
Run from it all

[Part III: the last great american dynasty]

[Bridge]
'Cause they say she was seen occasion
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
And in a feud with her neighbours
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Fifty years is a long time
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits
And then it was bought by me

[Part V: Run]

[Chorus]
And run
Run from it all
Darling, let's run
Run from it all

[Part Vl: the last great american dynasty]

[Chrous]
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[Part VII: Run / the last great american dynasty]

[Outro]
So, let's run
Ruining everything
Darling, let's run
Ruining everything
I had a marvelous time
And we'll run, and we'll run, and we'll run
Ruining everything
