running for our lives

Singer:marianne faithfull

move along staying close to the wall

looking over your shoulder just in time

avoid the light

close your eyes

and put your hand in mine

and put your hand in mine

are we in danger

or is it that you think we might be

but i think i'd like to get out of here

this place it frightens me

this place it frightens me

running for our lives

at least we're pretending we are

running for our lives

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get very far

stop pretending this is a child's adventure

the only way i can take it

is playing the game

be quiet

there's a gate ahead

do you think we can make it?

will it be different

or just the same?

how long can we keep escaping

how long can we keep escaping

how long can we keep escaping

into another prison?

running for our lives

at least we're pretending we are

running for our lives

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get very far

move along staying close to the wall

looking over your shoulder just in time

avoid the light

close your eyes

and put your hand in mine

and put your hand in mine

running for our lives

at least we're pretending we are

running for our lives

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get very far

we never get.
