Marathon Runner Songtext
von Yellow Ostrich

When I was a boy of seventeen
I know it′s mean, but I
I told my friend to give up on her dreams
She hated me, but I
I knew the dreams were for the best of us
And for the rest of us
And I
I didn't wanna share with anyone

I need a way to see my greatest dance
And make them laugh
I, could win the wars or lose the battles, too
Whichever′s true
I, can live another people's live
I can't stop putting on other people′s clothes
I love until I leave


I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I′m anxious to see
What I'm running for
I am a hot air ballon
On a sailboat
I wouldn′t make this my home
If I'd learned to float

So take my trash
Just take my earthly life
I′ll try to cry
I, will live without the things I love the best
So hold them to your chest
I lose my face
Just lose my stolen wigs
The heads of kings
I run until I know what to believe

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see
What I′m running for
I am a hot air ballon
On a sailboat
I wouldn't make this my home
If I learned to float


I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see
What I′m running for
I am a hot air ballon
On a sailboat
I wouldn′t make this my home
If I learned to float
