Jimmy Nail - Running Man lyrics

Artist: Jimmy Nail

album: Crocodile Shoes II


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
To save you from the running man
I'll decide what I believe
No-one's gonna change me now
I say how I live this life
You're not gonna tell me how
Promise of a world so fine
No more drugs, an end to crime
Don't you see for folks like mine
Your ways have had their time
Heaven help the chosen few
You best start prayin' that it's not you
Get your kids out while you can
And save them from the running man
Take your vision some place else
And give to them your tired tales
Can't you hear those ringing bells?
Can't you see your bread is stale?
Promise of a world so fine
Angels drinking turpentine
Don't you know we know that line
We've heard it all before
Close your mouths and close your doors
Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can
And save you from the running man
Close your mouths and close your doors
Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can
And save you from the running man
Close your mouths and close your doors
Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can
And save you from the running man
