Verse
First time I ran
Was to the end of the block
I didn't know then
That it never would stop
Now, I look around and what do I see?
More and more people running faster than me
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Verse
When I fell in love
For the very first time
I couldn't keep up
With that girl of mine
Night after Night on a mighty fast track
She ran like the wind and she never looked back
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Solo
Verse
Now I've been to England
And I've been to France
I've learned to love oysters
And I know how to dance
Someday I'll die and come back again
As some little boy just running to win
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Bridge
Look in the mirror, and what do I see?
The gypsy and fool that I always will be
Outro
These days
Everybody's on the run (x4)
