šµ *LYRICS - 'Runninā for the Train'*
(ORIGINAL - The Obscuritones)
I'm always on the run, canāt let my hair down,
Not even for a drink, ācause Iām always skipping town,
Iām a slave to the time, ācause itās always ticking by,
Train doesnāt wait for me, if I miss it then Iāll cry,
āI just gotta get homeā is the chanting in my mind,
Need to get back to baby, cause he keeps me satisfied.
Runninā for the train, runninā for the train, oooooh running for the train,
Iām runninā for the train, yeah, missing my life and slowly going insane.
Keep on running and Iām always out of breath,
My body is hurting, heart is pumping out my chest,
My bags are heavy and my shoes are getting tight,
As I run through the city in the middle of the night
āOh please Lord let me make itā is the plea on my lips,
Cause itās the very last train that Iām always ābout to miss.
Runninā for the train, runninā for the train, oooooh running for the train,
Iām runninā for the train, yeah, missing my life and slowly going insane, Yeah!
I can see the platform, think I hear a whistle,
Now Iām lurching forward to succeed in my mission,
Not time to stop even though Iām getting weary,
Man Iām really sweaty, and this is kind of scary!
I climb to the top of the escalator, just in time to hear
āThe line is closed for engineeringā.
Oooooh Iām runninā for the train,
runninā for the train, yeah, missing my life and slowly going insane.
Iām always runninā for a train (always running for a train)
Always running for the train (always running for a train)
Always running for the train-yeah-yeah-yeah
running for the train (running for the train)
Yeah, running for the train, running for the train,
Running running running running, runninā for theā¦
Iām always runninā for a train (always running for a train)
Always running for the train (always running for a train)
Always running for the train-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Running for the train, running for the train,
Running running running running, runninā for the..train-ah!
