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.
I´m gonna pack my suitcase, I´m on the run… ooh-daba daba da…
I´m on the run, three, two, one.
I´m gonna pack my suitcase, I´m on the run,
On the run from having fun,
In nights at the copa, cause I can`t resist,
Shimmering lights shiny boulevards.
I´m gonna send you a postcard from san jose,
Try to call you in guantanamo bay.
Terrible heartache, no “buenas noches”,
Send you some flowers from waikiki.
I´m on the run. I´m on the run.
I´m gonna pack my suitcase, I´m on the run,
When something new means no more fun.
Drivin` emotions, I´m restless inside, mama said:
Run but you cannot hide!
Pack my things in one-two-three, not gonna leave a trace of me.
Playing the streetlife seems to be tough,
A night in tunesia was quite enough.
I´m on the run. I´m on the run.
I´m gonna pack my suitcase, I´m on the run,
When nothing else could be done.
Memories, pain, we´ve been here before,
Did what I did, and I closed that door.
Why, tell me why, do we hurt the ones we love?
When I, yes I´m only tryin to get what I need…
I´m on the run. I´m on the run.
