Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, still the same
Can't you feel the pain?
When the needle hit the vein
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
I've seen it once before
And oh, it's somethin' else, good God
Cool breeze, come on in
Sunshine, come on down
You hear the teardrops of a clown
Circus comin' to town
[Verse 2]
All I'm sayin' is sometimes I'm more scared of myself
You better (Move)
I said (Move)
[Verse 3]
Ah (Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run, children
(Ah) Run for your life
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run, children
(Ah) Oh
Here it comes, said run (Ah)
Alright
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I'm on the run
See where I'm comin' from
When you see me comin', run
Before you see what I'm runnin' from
No time for question askin'
Time is passin' by, alright
You can't win, child
We've all tried to
You've been lied to
It's already inside you
[Verse 5]
Either you run right now
You best get ready to die
You better (Move)
I said (Move)
Ooh, alright
[Verse 6]
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run, children
(Ah) Run for your life
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run, children
(Ah) Oh
Here it comes, said run (Ah)
[Verse 7]
Hurry, little children, run this way
I have got a beast at bay
Hey
[Verse 8]
Oh
Promise me when the chance comes
(Run away)
You'll run as fast as you can
(Run away)
Don't you dare look backwards
(Oh)
Run as fast as you can
(Run as fast as you can)
[Verse 9]
(Ah) La, la, la, la-la-la
(Ah) La, la-la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
(Ah) La, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la la-la-la
[Verse 10]
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run, children
(Ah) Run for your life
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run away
(Ah) Run, children
Oh
Here it comes, said run (Ah)
