Run Lyrics

Yeah, it's still the same, can't you feel the pain?
When the needle hits the vein, ain't nothin' like the real thing
I've seen it once before and oh it's something else, good god

Cool breeze come on in, sunshine come on down
These are the teardrops of a clown, the circus coming to town
All I'm saying is sometimes I'm more scared of myself

You better move!
I said move!

Run away! Run away!
Run children! Run for your life!
Run away! Run away!
Run children! Oh!
Here it comes, said run! Alright

Yeah, I'm on the run, see where I'm coming from
When you see me come and run
Before you see what I'm running from
No time for question asking, time is passing by
Alright!

You can't win child, we've all tried too
You've been lied too, it's already inside you
Either run right now or you best get ready to die

You better move!
I said move!

Run away! Run away!
Run children! Run for your life!
Run away! Run away!
Run children! Oh!
Here it comes, said run!

Hurry little children, run this way
I have got a beast at bay!

Promise me when the chance comes
You'll run as fast as you can
Don't you dare look backwards
Run as fast as you can

Run away! Run away!
Run children! Run for your life!
Run away! Run away!
Run children! Oh!
Here it comes, said run!
