Life, in a quiet town I felt that I might drown In obscurity Like a hermit I always seemed to be in bed With stacks of books I should have read Like Kerouac, Virginia Woolf & Genet It seems to me, the place to be Is far away from hollow dreams That satisfy the few and not the many You turn my world around You, you turn me upside down And everything that you do And everything that you say Just keeps me running to be right next to you And every time that we meet I melt in your body heat I can't compete Down, from the barren slopes To the plain below Where the city sleeps I took my two feet They say tomorrow's all about Mistakes we make, and there's no doubt I have made so many I can't count them Forget the past and move on fast Away from dreams that never last Forever gunning, forever running You turn my world around You, you turn me upside down And everything that you do And everything that you say Just keeps me running to be right next to you And every time that we meet I melt in your body heat I can't compete Oh! You're so sweet With everything that you do I'm not afraid what Virginia Woolf might do And every word that you say From the balcony I'll throw Jean Genet With everything that you do Keeps me running to be right next to you And everything that you say Forever running, forever running
