The closing track on the third EP in Weezer’s SZNZ project, “Run, Raven, Run” repurposes fan-favorite demo “Pacific Sunset,” combining its bridge and chorus into this song’s bridge.
[Verse 1]
See the night train round the corner
Slam the brakes, door slides open
Time to go and meet your fate
All the cards are stacked against you
And your legs can't support you
Let me hold you one last time
[Chorus]
And then scramble in the bushes, hide in the trees
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
I can hear the eagles' terrible scream
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
Raven, raven, all I can do is keep praying
Raven, oh, raven, I hear them coming for you
[Verse 2]
Teachers gathеr (gather) on All Saints' Day (on All Saints' Day)
And though they try, they can't hеlp you
They overwhelm you with advice
[Chorus]
So scramble in the bushes, hide in the trees
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
I can hear the eagles' terrible scream
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
Raven, raven, all I can do is keep praying
Raven, oh, raven, I hear them coming for you
[Bridge 1]
It's tearing me apart, leaves me in a daze
I'm your spirit animal and I'm going cannibal
There's only you, you, you
Only you, you, you, only you
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 2]
Riding my bike over the path
Hardly a soul, Pacific sunset (Pacific sunset)
Beautiful lights, shine in the west
Hardly a soul, Pacific sunset (Chill in the air)
Riding my bike over the path
Hardly a soul, Pacific sunset
Beautiful lights, shine in the west
Hardly a soul, Pacific sunset
[Outro]
Scramble in the bushes, hide in the trees
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
I can hear the eagles' terrible scream
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
Raven, raven, all I can do is keep praying
Raven, oh, raven
