Running Man Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes Ii - Jimmy Nail

Can you hear it in your streets? 

Talk so cheap like tumbledown 

Empty words and dirty deeds 

Words so deep we all could drown 

Promise of a world so fine 

A picture postcard pepper dine 

And all you have to do is sign 

Upon that dotted line 

Take the word of one who knows 

Hear it comes, there it goes 

Get yourself out while you can 

And save you from the running man 

I'll decide what I believe 

No one's gonna change me now 

I'll say how I live this life 

You're not gonna tell me how 

Promise of a world so fine 

No more drugs and end to crime 

Don't you see for folks like mine 

Your ways have had their time 

Heaven help the chosen few 

You best start prayin' that it's not you 

Get your kids out while you can 

And save them from the running man 

Take your vision some place else 

Give to them your tired tale 

Can't you hear those ringing bells? 

Can't you see your bread is stale? 

Promise of a world so fine 

Angels drinking turpentine 

Don't you know we know that line? 

We've heard it all before 

Close your mouths and close your doors 

Spare us all from any more 

Get your guns out while you can 

And save you from the running man 

Close your mouths and close your doors 

Spare us all from any more 

Get your guns out while you can 

And save you from the running man 

Close your mouths and close your doors 

Spare us all from any more 

Get your guns out while you can 

And save you from the running man
