 She  walks through the corn  leadin' down  to the river
 Her hair  shone like gold  in the hot  mornin' sun
 She  took all the love  that a poor  boy could give  her
 And left  me to die  like a fox  on the run
 Like a fox,  like a fox, like a fox on the run
 Now everybody  knows  the reason  for my fall
 A woman  tempted me  down in paradise  hall
 This woman  tempted me  and she took  me for a ride
Like  a lonely fox,  boys, I need  a place to hide
 She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
 Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
 She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
 And left me to die like a fox on the run
 Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run
 Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
 We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
 I see a string of girls who have put me on before
 The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door
 She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
 Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
 She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
 And left me to die like a fox on the run
 Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run
 Then it leads in to "Bird On A Wire" by Leonard Cohen:
 Like a bird  on a wire
 Like a drunk  in a midnight choir
 I have tried  in my ways
 To be freeeeeeeee
 Then it leads in to "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People:
All  the other kids  with the pumped  up kicks
 Better run,  better run,  Outrun  my gun
All  the other kids  with the pumped  up kicks
 Better run,  better run,  faster  than my bullet
 Then leads in to "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock:
 Hit it!
I  wanna rock right now
 I'm Rob Base  and I came to get down
 I'm not internationally  known
 But I'm known  to rock the microphone
 Because  I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
 Stay away from  me if you're contagious
 'Cause I'm the winner,  no, I'm not the loser
 To be an M.C.  is what I choose  'a
 Ladies  love me, girls adore  me
 I mean even  the ones who never saw  me
 Like the way  that I rhyme at a show
 The reason why,  man, I don't know
 It  takes two  to make a thing go right
 It  takes two  to make it outta sight
