Running Scared Lyrics - Nik Kershaw

noon glistens and shadows wave 

who know whether we're stupid or brave 

and they way we are 

oh we are 

running scared 

no use fighting in the name of pride 

when there probably isn't any place to hide 

and the two of us 

running scared 

they're fakin' their peace and makin' their tracks 

they 

re watching you, watching them, watching your backs 

and they know we are 

oh we are 

running scared 

running scared 

from hearsay and hate 

fatality and fate 

st peter's pearly gate 

on the run 

to merciful release 

where paranoias cease 

and an everlasting peace 

is not a gun 

we could be pushing it much too far 

well maybe we, maybe, just maybe we are 

and the both of us 

both of us 

running scared 

excuse me officer, don't you know 

that this is the place where you people don't go 

here we go 

here we go 

running scared 

running scared 

from hearsay and hate 

fatality and fate 

st peter's pearly gate 

on the run 

to merciful release 

where paranoias cease 

and an everlasting peace 

is not a gun 

running 

running scared
