On the Run Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra

Whatever I do, wherever I go
The same afterglow is keeping me low
(D-d-d-don′t wanna lose it)
But don't wanna stay here too long

They see you go by, I tell you no lie
You′re up in the sky, make everyone cry
(D-d-d-don't wanna lose it)
But don't wanna stay around here

I′m on the run again
I′m on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

I hear them talking and they go on and on
They think that nothing is wrong
And so they just carry on about you
(D-d-d-don′t wanna lose it)
But I gotta move out of here


I see them waiting there for most of the day
I know you asked them to stay
But they just won't go away
(D-d-d-don′t wanna lose it)
But I gotta do it again

I'm on the run again
I′m on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

I know it ain't real, but when you are near
You′re saying the things that I wanna hear
(D-d-d-don′t wanna lose it)
But I gotta do it again

I'm on the run again
I′m on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

I′m on the run again
I'm on the run again
But it′s like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again


Run around, gotta go, gotta run around
Run around, gotta go, gotta run
Run around, gotta go, gotta run around
Run around, gotta go, gotta run

Woman, I gotta move around
Woman, I gotta get away
Woman, I gotta move around
