Money And Run
U.N.K.L.E. · Where Did The Night Fall-Another Night Out [2011]
here come the puppet men with their fists
you know those backroom ghouls
they make it impossible to resist
I took the money
I took the money and I ran
ran around the world..
run little rabbit, run
I don't wanna go there
I don't wanna see
every time I come down here
somebody is bent on killing me
I don't wanna go there
with all them hungry mouths to feed
every time I come down here
somebody is bent on killing me
somebody is bent on killing me
there goes the Jigsaw man
stuffing you in the pockets of his pants
we thought we'd make it safe and clear
but we never really stood a chance
we took it the money
we took it over everything we held true
ran around the world
yeah little rabbit, run
I don't wanna be here
running through the rain
I could do it over man,
there ain't a thing that I would not change
all my friends are gone
left me freezing on a beach
and every time I crawl up here
somebody tries to take a piece of me
we spent the money
we spent it sailing down the drain
every time I raise my head,
they kill me once
and they kill me all over again
I don't wanna go there
Oh I don't wanna see
every time I come down here
somebody is bent on killing me
take the money and run
round and round the world we go
take the money and run
round and round the world we go
run little rabbit run
round and round the world we go
run away
round and round the world
round and round the world
take the money
take the money and run
Money And Run
The inclusion of Money And Run on Where Did The Night Fall-Another Night Out [2011] highlights the duo's commitment to exploring darker, more introspective territories in their catalog. Unlike their earlier, more upbeat releases, this album and its singles lean heavily into the moody and brooding aspects of electronic music, a shift that became increasingly prominent in their later work. The song's placement within the album's tracklist suggests it was intended to serve as a pivotal moment, bridging the gap between the experimental sounds of their previous records and the more polished, yet still edgy, direction they took in subsequent years. Its legacy lies in its ability to capture a specific mood of modern alienation and resilience, making it a staple for playlists and sets that aim to evoke a sense of gritty, nocturnal atmosphere.
