Jimmy Nail - Running Man текст песни

Words and music by jimmy nail

Can you hear it in your streets ?

Talk so cheap like tumbledown

Empty words and dirty deeds

Words so deep we all could drown

Promise of a world so fine

A picture-postcard pepperdine

And all you have to do is sign

Upon that dotted line

Take the word of one who knows

Hear it comes, there it goes

Get yourself out while you can

Save you from the running man

Ill decide what I believc

No-ones gonna change me now

And Ill say how I live this life

Youre not gonna tell me how

Promise of a world so fine

No more drugs, an end to crime

Dont you see for folks like mine

Your ways have had their time

Heaven help the chosen few

You best start prayin that its not you

Get your kids out while you can

Save them from the running man

Take your vision some place else

Give to them your tired tale

Cant you hear those ringing bells ?

Cant you see your bread is stale ?

Promise of a world so fine

Angels drinking turpentine

Dont you know we know that line

Weve heard it all before

Close your mouths and close your doors

Spare us all from any more

Get your guns out while you can

Save you from the running man
