The Runner

Oh masters of the universe
Won't you please reveal
Secrets of The Octopus
Inside me which I feel
Clawing, clawing, who's been waiting
At my door forever patiently
Upon the lips of your incarnation
Who is the man to sing me a melody
Spin me a remedy
In homage of your industry
In debt with each huzzah
That’s paid in its entirety
With teardrops from the stars
Well, catch them, catch them, holy waters
Soothe the brows of jet set troubles
That set the feet of every martyr
Upon the road of fame and paradise
Forward, forward, not forsaken
Are you the man to fuck with the enemy
Show me gold and show me favour
Crown a man of humble origins
Who’s adept at fitting in
From beneath unholy skin
We'll sing along to the minion's song
Emerging from the jaws of each lion
Threading on in a far constellation
Riding away on the waves of oblivion
Sing along to the minion's song
Emerging from the jaws of each lion
Threading on in a far constellation
Riding away on the waves of oblivion
Sing along to the minion's song
Emerging from the jaws of each lion
Threading on in a far constellation
Riding away on the waves of oblivion
Oblivion
Oblivion
Oblivion
Oblivion
