LYRICS

Anonymous, autonomous
Will likely get the best of us yet
Before you disappear
If you can lend me half an ear
I’ll regret
If I treat you like a number
It’s because I can’t remember your name
So have another cigarette
And help me to forget why I came

Run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high

On dark and lonely nights I’m only
Right when things are bright on the floor.
Dancing and romancing
Gallivanting with a handsome I score.
And if you don’t believe me, you should
See me when I’m ready to roar.
‘Cause I’ll lose my concentration
With a new infatuation, I’m sure.

You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
We got no past
No goodbye
You run to fast and you fly too high.

Would you believe
I was once gonna be somebody?
I packed up my bags and I
Took what I had to the city.

Man I was rough
To find the best I could be.
Waiting for the limit
And a colour TV
Now I’ve made it this far
Got a room on the park and a view
And you
Fly too high.

Run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high

Hanging around on the infield
What do you steal
But another feel at the top?
Making believe in the long run
When a shotgun
Is the way to get out of the shop.
Hang tail in a new jail
You can go bail
You can dance until you drop.
‘Cause there’s no fool like
An old fool in a new school
You just can’t stop.

Run too fast, fly too high
You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
