On The Run

Run, run as fast as they can

They can’t catch the gingerbread man

A thousand miles of road behind

I’ve got to run, yes I’ve got to hide

If my scent is picked up

Then I’ll thrown them off the trail

I’ll stow away, I’ll steal a car, I’ll ride the rails

Black helicopters shining lights on where I’ve been

And in a dumpster they won’t see me flash a grin.

I’ll win

I’m gonna fight tooth and nail

(yeah)

But in the meanwhile

I’m on the run

On the run

On the run

Fake ID cards and I’ve got a new disguise

And I hope I go unnoticed because no one’s seen my eyes

I slide through in public view

I do what I’ve got to do

Be it run or take a stand

I become the every man and fade away

Just like a chameleon I rearrange my style

Moving past security I nod and flash a smile

Now I’ll need a decoy, now where’s a “dancing monkey”

They ain’t catching this boy cause I’m just far too funky, baby

I’m gonna fight tooth and nail

(yeah)

I’m gonna fight tooth and nail

(yeah)

But in the meanwhile

I’m on the run

On the run

On the run

The message has come

The planet is done

Look up to the skies

And open your eyes
