[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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
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 last days of Sparta
Follow him down to meet Apollo.

[Pre-Chorus:]
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.
