[Verse 1]
On the other side of town lives a saber-tooth tiger
Paints a real good picture, he's an excellent liar

[Pre-Chorus]
His mouth is full of sand and he's dying to meet you
His mouth is full of sand, he's just dying to meet you
On the other side of town lives a saber-tooth tiger

[Chorus]
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back and you're shaking at the knees
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back, run away from the beast

[Verse 2]
Colder than an ice cube and faster than the fastest cheetah
He's hiding in the kitchen, he's a right-brain eater

[Pre-Chorus]
His mouth is full of sand, he's just dying to meet you
His mouth is full of sand and he's dying to meet you
On the other side of town lives a saber-tooth tiger

[Chorus]
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back and you're shaking at the knees
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back, run away from the beast
[Instrumental break]
He's a saber-tooth tiger

[Chorus]
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back and you're shaking at the knees
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back and you're shaking at the knees
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Run away, and you're shaking at the knees
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
Got a bullet in your back, run away from the beast
