On The Run
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.
When I woke up I was rolling
And the clock was tickin' back
And the person in the bathroom mirror
Was a filthy maniac
So don't obsess or second guess
There's nothing wrong with you
But today's the day and I couldn't stay
Even if I wanted to
I'm sorry, man, it's according to plan
And I've already had my fun
What I keep on my back weighs a ton and a half
And I'm always on the run
It was over, man, before it began
I was never under your thumb
What I keep on my back weighs a ton and a half
And I'm always on the run
I never meant to send those Trojan horses to your heart
So let me start a new beginning, let me tear it all apart
And don't obsess or second guess
There's nothing wrong with you
But today's the day and I couldn't stay
Even if I wanted to
I'm sorry, man, it's according to plan
And I've already had my fun
What I keep on my back weighs a ton and a half
And I'm always on the run
It was over, man, before it began
I was never under your thumb
What I keep on my back weighs a ton and a half
And I'm always on the run
And I'm always on the run
And I'm always on the run
And I'm always on the run
And I'm always on the run
