On the Run Songtext

von Electric Light Orchestra

ON THE RUN

Whatever I do, where-ever I go, the same afterglow
Is keepin' me low, don't wanna lose it,
But don't wanna stay here too long.

They see you go by, I tell you no lie,
You're up in the sky, make everyone cry,
Don't wanna lose it, but don't wanna stay around here.

Chorus:
I'm on the run again, I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again.

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on, they thing that
Nothing is wrong, and so they just carry on about you,
Don't wanna lose it, but I gotta move out of here.

Repeat Chorus

I know it ain't real, but when you are near,
You're saying the things that I wanna hear.
Don't wanna lose it, but I gotta do it again.

Repeat Chorus
