The Fiery Furnaces - I'm Gonna Run lyrics

I slit my wrists with my swingline

Copied myself 500 times

I pierced my ears with a 3-hole punch

Ate 12 dozen donuts for lunch

But next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:

And the week after that I'm gonna run.

I swam in an Olympic-size pool;

Had a picnic with a ventriloquist

Saw my brother coming up the hill:

He wrapped a beach towel round my wrist

So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:

And the week after that I'm gonna run.

I dumped Surel for an older man;

Now I'm doing it for Dante.

Gimme some of that nasty water,

I'll take it one sip at a time.

So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:

And the week after that I'm gonna run.

Next week I'm a walk:

And the week after that I'm gonna run

On one of those things:

It's something like a treadmill I think.

So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:

And the week after that I'm gonna run.
