Anonymous, autonomous
Will likely get the best of us yet
Before you disappear
If you can lend me half an ear Ill regret If I treat you like a number
Its because I cant remember your name
So have another cigarette
And help me to forget what I came You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast and fly too high On dark and lonely nights Im only
Right when things are bright on the floor
Dancing and romancing
Gallivanting with a handsome I score And if you dont believe me, you should
See me when Im ready to roar
Cause Ill lose my concentration
With a new infatuation, Im sure You run too fast, fly too high
You run too fast, fly too high
We got no past, no goodbye
You run to fast and you fly too high Would you believe
I was once gonna be somebody? Yeah
I packed up my bags and I
Took what I had to the city, yeah yeah Man, I was rough
To find the best I could be
Waiting for the limit
On a color TV Now Ive made it this far
Got a room on the park and a view
And you
Fly too high You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
We got no past, no goodbye
Run to fast and you fly too Hanging around on the infield, what do you steal
But another feel at the top?
Making believe in the long run, when a shotgun
Is the way to get out of the shop Hang tail in a new jail, you can go bail
You can dance until you drop
Cause theres no fool like an old fool in a new school
You just cant stop You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
Got no past, no goodbye
Run to fast and you fly too
Will likely get the best of us yet
Before you disappear
If you can lend me half an ear Ill regret If I treat you like a number
Its because I cant remember your name
So have another cigarette
And help me to forget what I came You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast and fly too high On dark and lonely nights Im only
Right when things are bright on the floor
Dancing and romancing
Gallivanting with a handsome I score And if you dont believe me, you should
See me when Im ready to roar
Cause Ill lose my concentration
With a new infatuation, Im sure You run too fast, fly too high
You run too fast, fly too high
We got no past, no goodbye
You run to fast and you fly too high Would you believe
I was once gonna be somebody? Yeah
I packed up my bags and I
Took what I had to the city, yeah yeah Man, I was rough
To find the best I could be
Waiting for the limit
On a color TV Now Ive made it this far
Got a room on the park and a view
And you
Fly too high You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
We got no past, no goodbye
Run to fast and you fly too Hanging around on the infield, what do you steal
But another feel at the top?
Making believe in the long run, when a shotgun
Is the way to get out of the shop Hang tail in a new jail, you can go bail
You can dance until you drop
Cause theres no fool like an old fool in a new school
You just cant stop You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
Got no past, no goodbye
Run to fast and you fly too
