lyrics

"On the Run", lyrics and music by Manoog Hadeshian.

Kind of feels like a hangin'
that eerie silence when they cut the outlaw down
seems to last forever
on these helpless weary streets

It's so lonely at the station
no one needs a ride in this ghost town
and our bodies can't remember
what its like to be alive

I'm hiding from the sun
I'm dreaming in the dark
we're all on the run
yeah we're on the run

Silent strangers own the sidewalks
only sounds you can hear is the songbirds sing
did you know that they existed
...such a beautiful thing

Don't touch it with your finger
keep your hand off your face
better stand your distance
it's best to stay in one place

I'm hiding from the sun
I'm dreaming in the dark
We're all on the run
yeah we're on the run
on the run
