Running Man Lyrics

Running Man lyrics

Before the phone hits the receiver

 you're halfway to the door

 the voice said "get out while you can,

 theres just 10 minutes, nothing more"

 Time for only 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's beating fast

 You've been through it all before

 each time you wish a little more than you can 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?"

 

 Its 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 your shoulder to the

 night

 

 

 

 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

 theres just a question hanging back you left behind

 

 

 

 "what do you want from me?  What do you need from me?"
