Running For Our Lives

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. [Chorus] Running for our lives, At least we're pretending we are. Running for our lives, We never get very far. [Repeat: x3] 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 [Repeat: x3] Into another prison ? [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] We never get very far. [Repeat: x3] We never get --- Running for Our Lives - Marianne Faithfull
