"HE SHOULDA RUN" by David Guilbault

He took the stairway. He shoulda took the door.
He chose the wrong way, and wound up on the floor.
Which way he’d wind up, he couldn’t know for sure.
Which way the ground was, was nowhere near the door.
He shoulda run. What has he done? He shoulda run.

I saw him stumble. I saw him take the fall.
‘Help me’, he mumbled.
No one would heed his call.
It was his destiny. It was his fate to know.
It wasn’t up to me, to show him where to go.
He shoulda run. What has he done? He shoulda run.

Run, run, like a rabbit, run,
Faster than you can.
You know what’s done is done,
So take it on the lam
He shoulda run. What has he done?
He shoulda run.

f you see the stairway, look out for the door.
If you see a clear way, it might not be for sure.
Just get a movin’, right toward that exit sign.
Don’t stop to look around, or else you’ll surely die.
You better run. What have you done. You better run.

Last night I dreamt of you, and Joe DiMaggio.
You were a princess thief. He was an average Joe.
He wore a crown of thorns. You wore a string of pearls
I watched you from afar, as you stole my world.
I shoulda run. What have I done? I shoulda run.
