[Verse 1] You played a dangerous game, thought you were clever Never heard the Wolf, never knew it was near One step over the line you drew And the quiet broke, and the eye found you [Chorus - powerful, belted, commanding] Run, Cricket, run — the wolf is a-comin' Run, Cricket, run — the hunt has just begun Run, Cricket, run — the wolf is a-comin' Run, Cricket, run — you better start to run [Verse 2] Dog's got teeth but he's loyal to the bone Crab moves sideways, never shows his home Deer is skittish, jumps at every sound Rabbit's quick but he's running round They ran all night, they ran all day But there's nowhere left to run away [Chorus - powerful, belted, commanding] Run, Cricket, run — the wolf is a-comin' Run, Cricket, run — the hunt has just begun Run, Cricket, run — the wolf is a-comin' Run, Cricket, run — you better start to run [Bridge] I was never sleeping, I was waiting The hunt began before you crossed What is mine is mine, what is yours is mine And now you've run out of time They knew the price when they stepped over Now the Wolf is coming, and it's over Dog and Crab, Deer and Rabbit too One hunt, one ending, one for you I don't chase, I just take I know the ending, I know the fates [Outro] Run, Cricket, run — but there's nowhere left to go
