On the Run - Previously Unissued Home Demo 1979 Songtext

von Electric Light Orchestra

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.

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

I see them waiting there for most of the day, I known
You asked them to stay but they just won't go away.
Don't wanna lose it, but I gotta do it 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 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.

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.
