Running Man Lyrics
Before the phone hits the receiver You're halfway to the door The voice
said 'get out while you can, There's just ten minutes, nothing more' Time
only for the essentials Better gather them and run The false name inside
the passport, The gold bars and the gun And once again they've come out
of the past And though your mind is cool your heart is beating
fast You've been through it all before Each time you wish a little more
that you could ask
What do you want from me? What do you need from
me? There's no rest for the running man Why can't you let him
be?'
It's a long and twisting journey From the sweeping northern
plains To the outcrops of the jungle Bowed beneath the tropic rains In
the customs hall the officer Takes you to one side And his eyes reveal no
feeling As you hand over the bribe And once again you've bought a little
time And once again you're fading out of sight Still the fox is growing
older As he calls over his shoulder to the night:
What do you want
from me? What do you need from me? There's no rest for the running
man Why can't you let him be?
Here, come over here Beneath a
sympathetic moon We'll sit and talk over old times without a fear Another
beer, from the cafes of the night The tumbling rhythms of guitars ring loud
and clear
One by one they've nailed the others But you always got
away What it is that keeps you just that step ahead No one can say In
one last raid the agents Of the dawn break down the door Of a house where
you were standing Maybe just an hour before And still the thread continues
to unwind You take the hidden roads that only you can find And should they
come upon your tracks There's just a question hanging back you left
behind
What do you want from me? What do you need from me? No rest
for the running man Why can't you let him be?
What do you want from
me? What do you need from me?
