First time I ran
Was to the end of the block
I didn't know then

That it never would stop
Mow I look around
And what do I see

More and more people
Running faster then me
These days

Everybody's on the run

When I fell in love

For the very first time
I couldn't keep up
With that girl of mine

On a mighty fast track
She ran like the wind
And she never looked back

These days
Everybody's on the run


Now I've been to England
And I've been to France
I've learned to love oysters

And I know how to dance
Someday I'll die
And come back again

As some little boy
Just running to win
These days

Everybody's on the run

Look in the mirror

And what do I see
The gypsy and fool that I always will be
These days

Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
