Everybody's On The Run

Everybody's on the run

1985

"i talk to more answering machines in a day, than i do to

People. nobody's home."

First time i ran was to the end of the block

But i didn't know then that it never would stop

Now i look around and what do i see

More and more people runnin' faster than me

These days

Everybody's on the run

These days

Everybody's on the run



Well i fell in love for the very first time

But i couldn't keep up with that girl of mine

Night after night on a mighty fast track

She ran like the wind and she never looked back

These days

Everybody's on the run

These days

Everybody's on the run



-- spoken: "let's run"



These days

Everybody's on the run

These days

Everybody's on the run



Now i've been to england and i've been to france

I learned to love oysters and i know how to dance

Someday i'll die and come back again

As some little boy just-a runnin' to win

These days

Everybody's on the run

These days

Everybody's on the run



Look in the mirror and what do i see

The gypsy and fool that i always will be

These days

Everybody's on the run

These days

Everybody's on the run



These days

Everybody's on the run

These days

Everybody's on the run
