The Catherine Wheel - Ballad Of A Running Man lyrics

rate me

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

Ballad of a running man

Jam Jam marathon man
