Marianne Faithfull - Running for Our Lives lyrics

Move along staying close to the wall

Looking over your shoulder just in time

Avoid the light, close your eyes

And put your hand in mine, and put your hand in mine

Are we in danger or is it that

You think we might be

But I think I'd like to get out of here

This place it frightens me, this place it frightens me

Running for our lives

At least we're pretending we are

Running for our lives we never get very far

We never get very far, we never get very far

Stop pretending

This is a child's adventure

The only way I can take it

Is playing the game

Be quiet, there's a gate ahead

Do you think we can make it?

Will it be different or just the same?

How long can we keep escaping

How long can we keep escaping

How long can we keep escaping into another prison

Running for our lives

At least we're pretending we are

Running for our lives we never get very far

We never get very far, we never get very far

Move along staying close to the wall

Looking over your shoulder just in time

Avoid the light, close your eyes

And put your hand in mine, and put your hand in mine

Running for our lives

At least we're pretending we are

Running for our lives we never get very far

We never get very far, we never get very far

We never get very far, we never get very far

We never get very far, we never get
