everybody's on the run

first time i ran

was to the end of the block

i didn't know then

that it never would stop

mow i look around

and what do i see

more and more people

running faster then me

these days

everybody's on the run

when i fell in love

for the very first time

i couldn't keep up

with that girl of mine

on a mighty fast track

she ran like the wind

and she never looked back

these days

everybody's on the run

now i've been to england

and i've been to france

i've learned to love oysters

and i know how to dance

someday i'll die

and come back again

as some little boy

just running to win

these days

everybody's on the run

look in the mirror

and what do i see

the gypsy and fool that i always will be

these days

everybody's on the run

these days

everybody's on the run
