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, mmm 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 Dancin' and romancin', 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 You got no past, no goodbye You run too 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 it was rough to find the best I could be Waitin' for the limit on a colour TV Now I've made it this far, got a room on the park and a view Brand new 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 You got no past, no goodbye Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high Run too fast, fly too high
