Run Run Hide Hide

You should’ve known better
Than to listen to your friends
You’ve been duped once again
Deep down you knew it would go too far
Yet you stepped in the car

You should’ve known better
With all the flicks that you have seen
Of B-movies you’re so keen
So tell me what came over you
To think the saying must’ve been true?

What happens in Vegas
You thought stayed in Vegas
But I bet you never knew
That Vegas could come after you

You should’ve known better
And feel the storm coming through
When she walked towards you
You thought your charms had closed the deal
In the city where nothing’s real

You should’ve known better
Than to let her roll the dice
You weren’t ready to pay the price
Had been dealt a winning hand
You were so far from it my friend

There’s a rule you should have known
You do not play with what’s not your own
And I bet you never knew
That Vegas could come after you

Run Run Hide Hide
‘Cause if you don’t you gonna die
Run Run Hide Hide
And pray the Devil’s on your side

You should’ve known better
Than spend it all and look for more
What did you think you bargained for?
So blind when she got you the lead
That’s when you’re led by sex and greed

You, oh yeah, you should’ve known better
You gambled on a trip to hell
Deep down you knew it all so well
Now you’re broke and on the run
With all the money now she’s gone

What happens in Vegas
You thought stayed in Vegas
But I bet you never knew
That Vegas could come after you

Run Run Hide Hide
‘Cause if you don’t you’re gonna die
Run Run Hide Hide
Move Man! It’s no time to cry

Run Run Hide Hide
You’re way too young to die
Run Run Hide Hide
And pray yeah that the Devil’s on your side

(corre y escóndete)

Esta canción es para los inconscientes que se ponen en apuros en las Vegas.

Un día Gab llegó con la introducción y con el riff para las coplas. Algunas sesiones de improvisación permitieron encontrar algo para el interludio y el estribillo. En grupo la concluimos.

¿De dónde vino el tema “al Vegas”? No lo sé. Posiblemente porque la frase “You Should've Known Better” (Habrías debido prever el golpe) sucedió primero y que el resto se construyó en torno de ella. En todo caso, la letra se convirtió en un guión estereotipado de película de serie B. Los textos de la primera copla vinieron rápidamente, pero las de las siguientes no se ajustaban bien con la melodía. En una sesión de grabación, diGitum pidió leer la letra para ver si era posible retirar una palabra aquí y allá. La grabamos así. Nos gustó y decidimos entonces contar la historia más que de cantarla.

La historia queda “por seguir”. ¿Cómo debería terminarse? A ustedes de decidirlo.
