You must be on a marathon
Was I just water on your hips?
This endless foot race wearing on
Where you can sweat me out in drips
What is your plan? Whatcha doin'?
What is your plan? Whatcha doin'?
You gotta know your way around
Before you run, before you run
I said you gotta know your way around
Oh, another one, another one
There goes another runner girl
Take your mark and ready set
But please don't go yet, don't go yet
I know, you gotta know your way around
Before you run, before the starting gun
Hey, hi, Pheidippides, nice Nikes
Well did your sneakers come with wings?
You're Hermes with no messages
But still stuck on delivering
What is your final destination?
Oh, you never know, you never know, do ya now?
Oh but you gotta know your way around
Before you run, before you run
I said you gotta know your way around
Oh, another one, another one
There goes another runner girl
Take your mark and ready set
But please don't go yet, don't go yet
I know you gotta know your way around
Before you run, before the starting gun
Are you still chasing fictions with your laces loose?
You know a runner is a leaver, ah, but it's no use
Don't be so quick to think a solution to your problem
Is magic marker on a map
Aren't you ever coming back?
Because you gotta know your way around
Before you run, before you run
I said you gotta know your way around
Oh, another one, another one
There goes another runner girl
Take your mark and ready set
But please don't go yet, don't go yet
I said I know you gotta know your way around
Before you run, before the starting gun
