I'm Gonna Run Lyrics - The Fiery Furnaces

I slit my wrists with my swingline 

Copied myself 500 times 

I pierced my ears with a 3-hole punch 

Ate 12 dozen donuts for lunch 

But next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk: 

And the week after that I'm gonna run. 

I swam in an Olympic-size pool; 

Had a picnic with a ventriloquist 

Saw my brother coming up the hill: 

He wrapped a beach towel round my wrist 

So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk: 

And the week after that I'm gonna run. 

I dumped Surel for an older man; 

Now I'm doing it for Dante. 

Gimme some of that nasty water, 

I'll take it one sip at a time. 

So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk: 

And the week after that I'm gonna run. 

Next week I'm a walk: 

And the week after that I'm gonna run 

On one of those things: 

It's something like a treadmill I think. 

So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk: 

And the week after that I'm gonna run.
