Running Man - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter White[00:00:40]
Before the phone hits the receiver[00:01:20]
You're halfway to the door[00:01:23]
The voice said 'get out while you can[00:01:24]
There's just ten minutes nothing more[00:01:26]
Time only for the essentials[00:01:29]
Better gather them and run[00:01:31]
The false name inside the passport[00:01:33]
The gold bars and the gun[00:01:35]
And once again they've come out of the past[00:01:36]
And though your mind is cool your heart is beating fast[00:01:40]
You've been through it all before[00:01:45]
Each time you wish a little more that you could ask[00:01:47]
What do you want from me[00:01:50]
What do you need from me[00:01:52]
There's no rest for the running man[00:01:54]
Why can't you let him be[00:01:56]
It's a long and twisting journey[00:02:07]
From the sweeping northern plains[00:02:09]
To the outcrops of the jungle[00:02:11]
Bowed beneath the tropic rains[00:02:13]
In the customs hall the officer[00:02:15]
Takes you to one side[00:02:18]
And his eyes reveal no feeling[00:02:19]
As you hand over the bribe[00:02:21]
And once again you've bought a little time[00:02:23]
And once again you're fading out of sight[00:02:27]
Still the fox is growing older[00:02:31]
As he calls over his shoulder to the night[00:02:34]
What do you want from me[00:02:37]
What do you need from me[00:02:39]
There's no rest for the running man[00:02:41]
Why can't you let him be[00:02:43]
Here come over here[00:02:53]
Beneath a sympathetic moon[00:02:57]
We'll sit and talk over old times without a fear[00:02:59]
Another beer from the cafes of the night[00:03:03]
The tumbling rhythms of guitars ring loud and clear[00:03:07]
One by one they've nailed the others[00:03:39]
But you always got away[00:03:41]
What it is that keeps you just that step ahead[00:03:43]
No one can say[00:03:46]
In one last raid the agents[00:03:47]
Of the dawn break down the door[00:03:49]
Of a house where you were standing[00:03:51]
Maybe just an hour before[00:03:53]
And still the thread continues to unwind[00:03:55]
You take the hidden roads that only you can find[00:03:59]
And should they come upon your tracks[00:04:03]
There's just a question hanging back you left behind[00:04:05]
What do you want from me[00:04:09]
What do you need from me[00:04:11]
No rest for the running man[00:04:13]
Why can't you let him be[00:04:15]
What do you want from me[00:04:24]
What do you need from me[00:04:32]
