Half A Marathon Man
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.
An 89 year old man learned how to run
And as he passed me by, he said, "Come on, son!"
I really thought my bones weighted a ton
As I dragged them up and down the block
Now a couple of weeks have passed
Gone are the makings of a lazy man
When I saw the usher of change
Her flaming hair in slow-mo
Gliding past my window
I had to trace her down
"You look like a really nice guy
But can you keep up with me?"
Away she ran
I'm doing everything I can
To be half of a marathon man
How many things can life conceal
Deep in the mist everything is unreal
If you believe in me, I can
Become your own half a marathon man
I am half of a a marathon man
Yea-yeah
Good morning, somebody kill me right now
I've never felt this kind of a burning cold
I read it somewhere, running is like a drug
As for the second day, I can say it is not
It's bright white burning pain
Bring it on, baby!
10 miles and I fell hellbent
I'm gonna make sure this rainbow has an end
I seem to have hit an invisible wall
Trying to find out if this here endless tunnel is really
A cave
So here I run between the fields
I am half of a marathon man
Follow the river down from the hills
If I can do it, then anyone can
Now her eyes reflect my skies
You can hear love in the 21 cries
Of half of a marathon man
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
So here I run between the fields
I am half of a marathon man
Follow the river down from the hills
If I can do it, then anyone can
Now her eyes reflect my skies
You can hear love in the 21 cries
Of half of a marathon man
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful
It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day
