Seen to Run
Dressed in rags,
Plastic bags.
I recognise you,
I know you from before.
Like slugs on their way
Across the deadly tar,
Going for your dreams
Won’t get you very far.
And is it true?
Do saints have to end up like you?
She called you a liar,
You dropped the hair dryer into the water.
I thought we’d see
That sinners end up harmless like me.
Running out of things to say,
Running out of grounds to get up every day.
The trick is to keep lying,
Put on your brightest smile.
Run towards the train,
Play your final game.
The trick is to keep lying,
Put on your brightest smile.
Run towards the train,
Play your final game.
I feel sleepy,
This is creepy.
My hands are numb.
Pile the bottles up.
In Babylon you smile,
In Babylon you never reach the top.
Is it true?
Do saints have to end up like you?
She called you a liar,
You dropped the hair dryer into the water.
I thought we’d see
That sinners end up harmless like me.
Running out of things to say,
Running out of grounds to get up every day.
