[Verse 1]
Winnipeg cold, breath like smoke
Snow got crunch when I hit that road
Back lane cut, one wrong turn
Red and blue flash, let the sirens burn
Boots on the gravel, heart on run
Frost on the fence when the chase begun
You wanna talk tough, then talk that talk
But I’m gone like a ghost when the tower lights pop
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that wail?
Get low, get low
Turn that corner
Move, move, go
[Chorus]
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
Chase you down the back lane, gone
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
When the sirens sing, we don’t stay long
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
Hands up high when the cold hits hard
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
One wrong step and you fall apart
[Verse 2]
7-Eleven glow on the packed snow bricks
Run past the alleys, quick, quick, quick
You hear that echo bouncing off the garages
Too much talk get you caught in the margins
Bus stop empty, chain-link hiss
I know every cut, every shortcut twist
You think you vanished, think you clean?
I’m right on your heel through the riverbank steam
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that wail?
Get low, get low
Turn that corner
Move, move, go
[Chorus]
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
Chase you down the back lane, gone
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
When the sirens sing, we don’t stay long
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
Hands up high when the cold hits hard
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
One wrong step and you fall apart
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Maple on my sleeve, ice in my track
You came in loud, now you don’t come back
Sirens behind me, shadows ahead
Every old lane know the words you said
(Too slow)
(too slow)
Now the whole block knows my name
[Chorus]
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
Chase you down the back lane, gone
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
When the sirens sing, we don’t stay long
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
Hands up high when the cold hits hard
Winnipeg run, Winnipeg run
One wrong step and you fall apart
