Forever Running

Life, in a quiet town

I felt that I might drown

In obscurity

Like a hermit

I always seemed to be in bed

With stacks of books I should have read

Like Kerouac, Virginia Woolf & Genet

It seems to me, the place to be

Is far away from hollow dreams

That satisfy the few and not the many

You turn my world around

You, you turn me upside down

And everything that you do

And everything that you say

Just keeps me running to be right next to you

And every time that we meet

I melt in your body heat

I can't compete

Down, from the barren slopes

To the plain below

Where the city sleeps

I took my two feet

They say tomorrow's all about

Mistakes we make, and there's no doubt

I have made so many I can't count them

Forget the past and move on fast

Away from dreams that never last

Forever gunning, forever running

You turn my world around

You, you turn me upside down

And everything that you do

And everything that you say

Just keeps me running to be right next to you

And every time that we meet

I melt in your body heat

I can't compete

Oh! You're so sweet

With everything that you do

I'm not afraid what Virginia Woolf might do

And every word that you say

From the balcony I'll throw Jean Genet

With everything that you do

Keeps me running to be right next to you

And everything that you say

Forever running, forever running
