running out of reasons to run

maybe you were struck by lightning

or run over by a truck

maybe a spaceship did abduct you

maybe you ran out of luck

maybe a flock of hungry tigers

happened to cross yours ways

last night

or were you swallowed by a whalefish

maybe you got into a fight

anyway something must

have happened

or else you would have called

maybe you just lost your balance

maybe you just tripped and fell

and i was not around to catch you

so you went straight down to hell

maybe you were held a prisoner

and were charged on false a-complaints

maybe the lord was feeling lonely

and you were picked up by the saints

anyway something must

have happened

or else you would have called

you've got to help me out

'cause i'm running out of reasons

got to help me out

cause i'm running out of patience

got to help me out

'cause i'm running out of you

i'm running out of you

maybe you were struck by lightning

or run over by a truck

maybe a spaceship did abduct you

maybe i ran out of luck
