Tinpot wizard paying me a visit on a misty night
Beady-eyed eagle flying high above and the moon is bright
Giving me a fright
Too much magic me and my baby
Blowin' out the light
Take the money and run
Semantic corridor and all the people got lost
'De Profundus' was enough
Little Oscar paid the cost
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
So what's the fuss
And it's up to us
Take the money and run
Chase it into the night
When two shoot straight
All the old men run for cover
The truth is too late
And all the old women nudge one another
Seven o'clock and the shadows are gone
There's a wild dog barking in the village
The neighbours talk and the children don't mind
Take the money and run
Chase it into the night
