Marathon Man

Here comes Marathon Man,

Coming as fast as he can,

Like a bolt of lightning down on the street,

Too fast to fail on his flying flipping feet

He sees the cities weeping disease

He sees the business men and the fleas

There are communists in Hampstead Mansions

He sees them, and he runs right past em

Here comes Marathon Man

C-c-Coming as fast as he can

Down the streets and avenues

Too quick to be caught by BBC news

He sees the cities secret lives

He sees who you are when you cheat on your wives,

He sees the scumbags carrying knives

He sees the thrill seekers desperately alive

Here Comes Marathon Man

G-g-Going as fast as he can

Meet the man who don't need to take speed

He drank 1,000 cups of caffeine

He sees the city when it's on its knees

He sees much more then you and me

He'll run around, you won't believe what he found

The immoral and the moral walk the same ground

There ain't no high ground here,

There ain't no martyrs here

There ain't no romance here

There's no such thing as a hero here
