Badless The Running Up That Hill Lyrics

Running Up That Hill Lyrics

(naydock/badlees)

 

 When the rain is sports arena loud

 In the evening of a self-inflicted day

 And you're contemplating sides that might collide

 The hemlock society and life insurance salesmen

 And you discover all your coupons are for things you hate

 And all your pennies are canadian and you curse that paperweight

 

 Drown it all and leave it still

 You're a millionaire of words

 Hand in hand as light as birds

 We'll go running up that hill

 

 When acquaintances drain your reservoir

 Of cigarettes like bad construction

 And all your phone conversations slither

 Into a sales pitch from the world of don lapre

 And the love from a close-as-sisters friendship

 Up and dies like it too often does

 

 Drown it all and leave it still

 You're a millionaire of words

 Hand in hand as light as birds

 We'll go running up that hill

 

 The funeral directors' trade show crowd

 Strangles parking so you drive a while

 Past streets and neighborhoods and ghosts

 Of incidents that now define you

 When the weight of expectation cracks

 Cracks your countenance in the damnedest places

 

 Drown it all and leave it still

 You're a millionaire of words

 Hand in hand as light as birds

 We'll go running up that hill
