| You’re a crystal blip
|
| On a TV screen
|
| Flare for a second and then fade to the screams
|
| Of a million righteous scrambled pixels and then
|
| There has got to be some that slip away
|
| You’re a scrambled shard on a radio
|
| A blasted blip from a blasted stereo
|
| And a million righteous bangers scream
|
| «there has got to be one that slips away»
|
| You’re a notch on a sword
|
| You’re a nail on the board
|
| You should never be born, not with all these plans to abort
|
| Wishing all these boats back to the edge of the bay
|
| Tie them fast and don’t let one slip away
|
| You’re a publican, with a shiny tooth
|
| You sue your mouth with the greenest truths
|
| You shall rise from the fall of the Americans
|
| And lead yourself out of some fray
|
| You shall float upon the slick of the greasiest day
|
| When you run, run, run, run
|
| Run, run, run, because you
|
| Run, run, run, because you’re
|
| Wrong when you run
|
| Run, run, run, run
|
| Run, run, run, because you
|
| Run, run, run, because you’re wrong
|
| You’re a barrister at the end of a dream
|
| Taxing one hundred fairies so they might cross your stream
|
| Solace in the heart of the mariner
|
| Who is taking his craft and floating away
|
| Your sabbatical is a gift to the sun
|
| Take this cover-cloud and wrap it around where you might be stunned
|
| Lightning has a way of striking anyone who stands in the path of an oil man
|
| Who shall float in the wake of an oil man
|
| Who shall float upon the slick of an oil man
|
| He shall walk right to the center, saying that’s all for today
|
| When you run, run, run, run
|
| Run, run, run, because you
|
| Run, run, run, because you’re
|
| Wrong when you run
|
| Run, run, run, run
|
| Run, run, run, because you
|
| Run, run, run, because you’re wrong
|
| And don’t forget
|
| That the demons struck
|
| And blow their holes by the sea
|
| A chair shall rust
|
| By the beach’s blustery bluffs
|
| Up there as it strikes the day
|
| And don’t forget that the demons struck
|
| And they blow their holes by the bay
|
| Today, today
|
| You are righteous, you are righteous today
|
| And you’re on the phone and you pray for snow
|
| But snow has evolved, it’s no longer snow
|
| Weight on the limbs of a family man
|
| Who shall walk onto some stage
|
| Who shall walk onto some stage
|
| Who shall harness your audience’s rage
|
| Who will play his dark horn on the edge of some stage
|
| When you run, run, run, run, run
|
| When you run, run, run, run, run
|
| When you run, run, run, run, run
|
| When you run, run, run, run, run
|
| Because you’re wrong |
