Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Anonymous autonomous will likely get the best of us yet
Before you disappear if you can lend me half an ear, I'll regret
If I treat you like a number
It's because I can't remember your name, mmm
So have another cigarette and help me to forget why I came
[Verse 2]
Run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
[Verse 3]
On dark and lonely nights I'm only right when things are bright on the floor
Dancing and romancing, gallivanting with a handsome I score
And if you don't believe me you should see me when I'm ready to roar
'Cause I'll lose my concentration with a new infatuation I'm sure
[Verse 4]
You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
You got no past, no goodbyes
You run too fast, and you fly too high
[Verse 5]
Would you believe I was once gonna be somebody
I packed up my bags and I took what I had to the city
Man, it was rough to find the best I could be
Waiting for the limit on a color TV
Now I've made it this far, got a room on the park and a view
And you fly too high
[Verse 6]
Run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
[Verse 7]
Hanging around on the infield, what do you steal
But another feel at the top
Making believe in the long run, when a shotgun
Is the way to get out of the shop
Hang tail in a new jail, you can go bail
You can dance until you drop
'Cause there's no fool like an old fool, in a new school
You just can't stop
[Verse 8]
Run too fast, fly too high
You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
