Lyrics
An Awful Lot Of Running
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He is like fire, burning through time
As old as forever, but fast in his prime
I saw his blue spaceship materialize
He looked out and said to me "run for your life!"
I don't know why I never thought to ask for his name
But I really don't think he'd have told me the truth anyway
But that's ok
It's completely terrifying but it's so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I've been; there's so much more to see
We've got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to do
As a full-time companion he gave me a key
And a phone with a signal in every galaxy
As we fell through the vortex I felt so free
Please don't let this danger just be another dream
Cos my life before you was unreasonably mundane
I've never been happier although we face death every day
I wouldn't have it any other way
And you know you can fix that chameleon circuit if you try hot-binding the fragment links and superseding the binary/binary/binary/binary/binary/binary
