RUNNING MAN

I used to roam the pasture not very long ago,
Nobody would care at all or ask where I would go.
Now I am trapped within this new society,
My only hope for freedom is to escape this gravity

I'll move so fast you'll wonder "What's that guy doing?"
You'll likely cheer but perhaps you'll prefer to stick to booing.
Fear not, I will not fail you, you soon will surely see,
Listen to me...I have a plea!

CHORUS
Running man, I am running man;
Watch me jump small buildings in a single bound,
Running man, I am running man;
"Take a look at my face, I am the future,
     how do you like what you see?"©
Running man, I am running man;
Watch me jump small children named Ram Subramanyam,
Running man, I am running man;
I make no mistake, get out of my way,
     I'll run over you...

Why do I run, I do not know, it's a distant form of fighting,
Perhaps I want to live with energy indicative of a bolt of lightning,
No, I will not hold an image labeled by "BAD TO THE BONE"
My appearance will bear striking similarities to those of Davey Concepcion

My ourwardness does not imply consistent sanity,
I often dream of lawn chairs strewn with mild and spicy chili.
My sorrows cannot stick to my red cape or tights,
When I go with my pink sunglasses streaking through the night!

CHORUS

I'll take the shape of a modern-day superhero,
My popularity, in turn, will significantly grow.
Tunnels, bridges, inlets, I will cross them all,
Cy, my midget friend, go down town and play w/ the red ball!

Ninety-thirty five was a very good year,
Instinct will motivate me and eliminate my fear.
I've heard that Eastbay backpacks have livetime guarantees,
No, I don't have a dog, but if I did, he wouldn't have fleas!

CHORUS

run run run...
