In The Running lyrics

It was that night at nowhere, I saw you standing there
Darlin' you were hungry for life, an innocent in this land

What is it about this city, that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night

You mustn't think of staying,
The price is more than you'd think
It's giving up the sweetest part of you,
For this heartless prize

They're sending back pictures from Saturn and Mars
Maybe this will be our new home
Well we seem to have messed up
And we must look to the stars
Our paradise we seem to have outgrown

Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane

Well we've been much too greedy
Wanting too much to fast
But we have to say we are what we are

The manners of the heart
We watched them grow
Did we write everlasting love,
in the Hollywood snow

The ribbons and the bows
Wrapped us with gold
Such pressure heaven knows
As the fairy tale folds

Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones

In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love

You're walkin' 'round like a doll without a head
You should be thinking 'bout how to give your love instead
I've seen you lying and cheating your way
Then you complain about what all of your friends say

You shoot your mouth like you damn well own the world
We always have to keep our little white flags unfurled
Just try to finish the things that you start
Stop thinking with your fists

I've got your picture in the palm of my hand
And I'm squeezin' it I'm teasin' it
I'd follow you to the edge of this land
But I'm losin' it, confusin' it

This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Stop me from fallin' you know I need you

To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that I once knew
And when you can see

Give me one last try
Hold on for me
Believe my alibi
Keep strong
Don't set me free
Well this weakness makes me wrong
I'll show you I can be strong

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
But I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

I know I've pushed my luck
So many times

We got the same beat runnin' round
through this crazy town
Oh I'm sick and I can't hear it anymore
And when we touched as the blood and the rain
We'd be shakin' the ground
She's sick and there's a way to bring her 'round

Show me what you're waitin' for
This moment may not rise again
And your heart will never know
Show me what you're waitin' for
The voices may not rise again

The time has come to watch you go watch you go
We weathered rough storms together
Couldn't conceive of the end
When I heard of your leavin'
It came as a shock and surprise
Like the deepest kinds of love
Lost on the inside
Locked right on the inside

What is the greatest expression of love,
To let go and wish well
But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell

He saw flames in the department store
He tried to get the people to the safety of the door
There was no fire the voices were telling him what to do
You could see from his face he needs someone
To help pull him through

The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The voices are back they're telling him what to do

Ripping through the fabric between his world and the real

Whatever happened to the value of our love
I've seen you change
I've seen it coming slowly, these changes
You're not the same

It's not too late to start over
It's not too late to turn around
What are the things important to you?
Can't be the money
Well I got news for you

Two Souls (should be two souls together)
Two Souls (in the life that we planned)
But you're working obsession is squeezing me
