Lyrics

Hey run man, yeah the cops are coming
Heard the call come in as I passed by
He grabbed his things, and he took off running
Muttered “thank you, however can I—?”
Before he finished the sirens wailed
And so, he turned and jumped right into the street
I watched the earth as it turned its tail
And ran contrary to the soles of his feet
I don’t need to survive on my own
Just to know I’m alive, in control
To watch the world chew and spit you out again, my friend
The rain falls just like a steady hand
And so your monuments will fade in time
But kick and scream if it makes you happy
I’m, not here to try and change your mind
It takes an army, or so they say
To raise a child full-grown
But we grow old instead of up each day
So tell me, what’s this army really for?
I don’t need to survive on my own
Just to know I’m alive, in control
To watch the world chew and spit you out again, my friend
Darling, you’re beautiful
