I've been running in the rain, sleeping on the bay
I won't see you again anymore
I've been talking to a man who tries to understand
Buys my coffee at the dirty corner store
And I'm on the run again guess this novel never ends
And I'm feeling for the first time in my life
Yes I'm on the run again and I've got no thoughts to send
And if I did I'd send them home to my wife
Leaflets and questionnaires
No one seems to care in a city where the dead never rise
You know I may be wrong but here's where I belong and
I'll be here till the day that I die
And I'm on the run again guess this novel never ends
And I'm feeling for the first time in my life
Yes I'm on the run again and I've got no thoughts to send
And if I did I'd send them home to my wife
Beware of foolish things and all the luck they bring
Set them all aside and count the rain
I bid you all farewell, tip my hat and leave your hell
Leave your wealth, leave your sin, leave your pain
And I'm on the run again guess this novel never ends
And I'm feeling for the first time I'm alive
Yes I'm on the run again and I've got no thoughts to send
And if I did I'd send them home to my wife, to my wife, oh my wife
