Jimmy Nail - Running Man Lyrics
Words and music by jimmy nailCan you hear it in your streets ?Talk so cheap like tumbledownEmpty words and dirty deedsWords so deep we all could drownPromise of a world so fineA picture-postcard pepperdineAnd all you have to do is signUpon that dotted lineTake the word of one who knowsHear it comes, there it goesGet yourself out while you canSave you from the running manIll decide what I believcNo-ones gonna change me nowAnd Ill say how I live this lifeYoure not gonna tell me howPromise of a world so fineNo more drugs, an end to crimeDont you see for folks like mineYour ways have had their timeHeaven help the chosen fewYou best start prayin that its not youGet your kids out while you canSave them from the running manTake your vision some place elseGive to them your tired taleCant you hear those ringing bells ?Cant you see your bread is stale ?Promise of a world so fineAngels drinking turpentineDont you know we know that lineWeve heard it all beforeClose your mouths and close your doorsSpare us all from any moreGet your guns out while you canSave you from the running man
