For years I avoided caffeine
|
For years I was clean
|
I was calm and complete
|
Then the world fell down round my ears
|
Had a change in my state
|
Bug eyed and awake
|
|
I was grinding my teeth in my habitat
|
I couldn't stand still I was running back
|
But it was gone
|
|
Smack smack smacking my hands
|
Flap flapping my hands
|
Lick licking my wounds
|
Will it help me
|
Rip rip ripping my skin
|
Clip clipping my wings
|
Pick picking my bones
|
Will it help me
|
Hip hip hip to the beat
|
I can't find my own feet
|
Can't see where I stand
|
Ballad of a running man
|
Jam Jam marathon man
|
|
For years I was wrapped up in blue
|
On sunny afternoons
|
Sunbathed but unmoved
|
On the ground I found me a stooge
|
He was clear out of school
|
With a theory to prove
|
|
He said he understood so I told him
|
It was just like I'd read in a magazine
|
Said I thought it was weird to be stumbling
|
And that it felt like a race I was running in
|
That's already run
|
|
Smack smack smacking my hands
|
Flap flapping my hands
|
Lick licking my wounds
|
Will it help me
|
Rip rip ripping my skin
|
Clip clipping my wings
|
Pick picking my bones
|
Will it help me
|
Hip hip hip to the beat
|
I can't find my own feet
|
Can't see where I stand
