Lyrics by chris cornell Music by kim thayil Little joe, run for the border Leave your home Go where the reptiles roam On the side of the border that is your home Little joe, eyes of your lover look back on you As you run for cover Though stick and fire and may break your bones Theres a light in the tunnel that leads you home Little joe, just like your father Your eyes will water, your guts will splatter Though sticks and fire, sticks and fire Wont break your bones, it is a lie Little joe, run for the border Leave your mother and father Go to where the reptiles roam Theyre waiting for you, little joe
