Standing on the borderline
Between joy and reason
Tending carefully my fire

Waiting for my season
I know who these people are
I know what they stand for

Corruption's built into this plan
Nothing's under the other hand


Tricks and trials await the child

Instinct keeps me running

Running like a deer
Instinct keeps me running
Running through the grinning shadows


I have seen the sludgy beach
And the poisoned river

I have met the lordly rich
They're just getting stiffer
This whole place is like a maze

Or like some Medusa
Let me out I can't accept
A certain read life story


Tricks and trials await the child


Instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
Instinct keeps me running

Running where the sorrow bless me
Instinct keeps me running
Running like a moose

Instinct keeps me running
Running to keep one chance open


Marks on walls, the common outlet
Tell the truth and always will
Marks on wall destroy the thought

Of perfect sunny civilization

Tricks and trials await the child


Instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer

Instinct keeps me running
Running through the grinning shadows
Instinct keeps me running

Running like a bear
Instinct keeps me running
Running to keep one chance open

Instinct keeps me running
Running cause I don't believe it
Instinct keeps me running

Running through the bare emotion
Instinct keeps me running
Instinct keeps me running

Running
I'm running, running, running, running
