On the Run

On the Run 




*Footsteps echo in a glassy maze,*

*Shapes that flicker, shadows play,*

*Lost and found, I spin around,*

*In circles where no end is found.*




*(pause, scattered strums)*




*Ticket in hand, but nowhere to go,*

*Planes above, they dip down low.*

*A whispered word, then it’s gone,*

*On the run… on the run.*




*(quiet, trailing guitar notes)*




**(Chorus)**

*And I’m spinning, tumbling down,*

*Over fields, through ghostly towns.*

*The sky drops out, I’m falling fast,*

*But the ground just melts to glass.*




*(pause, slow strum)*




*In the distance, engines hum,*

*The race is on, but who has won?*

*Faces blur, then fade away,*

*We run and run and run all day.*




*(choppy, staccato guitar notes)*




**(Bridge)**

*Left and right, the road won’t stay,*

*Shapes dissolve and float away.*

*I laugh, I trip, but there’s no ground,*

*The world is spinning round and round.*




*(soft picking, dreamlike pause)*




**(Chorus)**

*Running, slipping, through the air,*

*Reaching out but there’s nothing there.*

*Lights flash by in threads of red,*

*The path unwinds, the end’s ahead.*




*(pause, echoing guitar)*




*There’s no start and there’s no end,*

*Just circles where the road won’t bend.*

*In a blur, the world spins on,*

*Gone again… on the run.*
