Well I've been running scared since the day I was born Trembling like a leaf in a thunderstorm Rain clouds rising in my sweet blue sky Rain clouds, rain clouds, thunderstorms and rain clouds My Buddha umbrella Keeps the powder dry I'm the former of my shadow self I'm just a dumb palooka I'm the former of my shadow self Things couldn't hand much looser Things couldn't hand much looser Well I've been chasing rainbows Catching falling stars Running round in circles hatching fireflies in jars Poisoning my system Pissing in the wind Pouring out my troubles while the lights were dim... I'm the former of my shadow self I'm not a dumb palooka I'm the former of my shadow self I couldn't act much cuter... Much cuter...know what I mean? I've been running scared since the day I was born Trembling like a leaf in a thunderstorm
