I've made some bad decisions
I've blown a load of chances
but it's never too late for me to get where I'm going
it's never too late for me to be there
found a prison in my own mind
saw the gates close before my eyes
working so hard in a gravel pit
banging a hammer and I'm through with it
I'm running....
(deh-di-di-di-dooo)
Egyptian Jackson
I broke apart the shackles
hit the warden with a shovel
blood on my hands in self defense
cuts on my knees from a barb-wire fence
can't even read the road signs
weaving in between the power lines
can't say I'm even leavin' foot prints
creep through the night at the speed of light
I'm running...
(deh-di-di-di-dooo)
Egyptian Jackson
one delta to another
Mississippi or the river Nile
burning my feet on the desert sand
breaking the laws of all space and time
I'm running
UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh
they say that LIVE equals PAIN
and they say it's the way it's got to be
I disagree
UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh
they say that logic is the law of man
I will defy
UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh UH! uh-uh
I'm running....
