You're running in a race
That's going nowhere
You're going for your best time
But there's no one to share
You think its all you got to do
To run and run and run and never lose
Well all you do is practice and hide
Make plans and break them and wear a coat inside
You make and break the things you own
Your front steps are too steep
All your daffodils are dying
Your shovel's too long your grave's too deep
You think it's all you got to do
To live alone and never choose
Well all you do is dream and hide
You can let it down 'cause the lord knows what's inside
So you're hanging up your running shoes
'Cause the man is telling you what you can and cannot do
