Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a lifelong project of a life on the lash
I've forgotten how to care but I'll remember for cash
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Light the fuse, sing the blues, I can die if I want to
Tonight, we're gonna bring tomorrow's happiness
Gonna live like it's the end
I love you to death
But I must suggest
[Chorus]
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
[Verse 2]
He's a long-time blagger, wraps a hand in band
Still knows the streets of Camden like the back of his hand
He's a long-time lover and a marathon man
And with the strength of a thousand men
He's a nightmare hangover
He's a one-night stand
He can eat more chicken than any man in the land
Well, I've given up caring for happiness
When his heart gives out, is when I'll rest
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
[Bridge]
'Cause tonight, we're gonna spend
All tomorrow's happiness
If we don't break before we bend
And tonight, your soul aside
It'll turn out nice again
It's only money in the end
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
[Outro]
You'd better run, run, run, boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run
