Chicken Run Songtext
von Syd Kitchen

Did I hear you say
He upped her and ran away
With all his dreams
Stuffed in the pockets of his jeans
Looked out on hills of hope
Saw life through a telescope

And as those leaves were falling
He took off
Took off with the changing wind
And he walked out
Walked out at the flick of a switch
Pulled by
Pulled by the strings of his heart

What you gonna do brother?
When it all comes down
Bet you′re going to be burying your head in the ground
Where you gonna be sister?
When the ship comes in
Bet you're going to be huddled with your grin


Someone who tried
Someone who stayed
You could′ve taken a ride
On the chicken run

Now he'd been told
The streets were lined with gold
Opportunity
Brought a tremble to his knees
His conscience pricked a bit
Perhaps the shoe would never fit

And as those leaves were falling
He took off
Took off with the changing wind
And he walked out
Walked out at the flick of a switch
Pulled by
Pulled by the strings of his heart

What you gonna do brother?
When it all comes down
Bet you're going to be burying your head in the ground
Where you gonna be sister?
When the ship comes in
Bet you′re going to be huddled with your grin


Maybe it′s not fair
For us to punch the air
To criticize
For the truth could be the lies
What does a man go through
When facing what he has to do?

Sometimes when the leaves start falling
We take off
Take off with the changing wind
And we walk out
Walk out at the flick of a switch
Pulled by
Pulled by the strings of our hearts

What you gonna do brother?
When it all comes down
Bet you're going to be burying your head in the ground
Where you gonna be sister?
When the ship comes in
Bet you′re going to be huddled with your innocent grin
What you gonna do brother?
When it all comes down
Bet you're going to be burying your head in the ground
Where you gonna be sister?
When the ship comes in
Bet you′re going to be huddled with your grin

Someone who tried
Someone who stayed
You could've taken a ride
On the chicken run
