Lyrics
The Running 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.
I'm being held captive
Somethings got a hold of me
They say until death spilts us up and calls the judge to ask if you belive
That you've lost your soul for enternity
That you've never been free
But when it's said and done, we can run and start eternity
But for now I've been trapped, oh
Too long to take these blows
Tell me when you see the smoke
Hear my cries and bring me back to home
Arrested by your love, girl
Cuffed and searched on the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door
Arrested by your love, girl
Cuffed and searched on the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door
I'll send an S.O.S through a telegraphic note
Express distress
Written in code, signed to unknown
Cause nobody should know what it's like to be alone
So take back your soul
A life to uphold a lie to be told cause love's not set in stone
But for now I've been trapped, oh
Too long to take these blows
Tell me when you see the smoke
Hear my cries and bring me back to home
Arrested by your love, girl
Cuffed and searched on the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door
Arrested by your love, girl
Cuffed and searched on the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door
Come as you are, my darling
Bare boned so I can see your soul
I'm beginning to lose control
I need to know I'm starting
To crumble down that nervous wall you've had assembled for far too long
Come as you are, come as you are
I'm beginning to lose control
I need to know, I need to know you're beginning to lose control
Arrested by your love, girl
Cuffed and searched on the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door
Arrested by your love, girl
Cuffed and searched on the floor
Badly beaten in love, girl
Turn the key and lock the door
Come as you are, come as you are
I'm beginning to lose control
I need to know, I need to know you're beginning to lose control
