Song Description

on the subject of life, aging and the the daily race to get through.

Lyrics

On your mark.
Get set.
Go!

I'm running out of time
I'm running out of room
I'm running out of rhymes
I keep playing out of tune
I oughta' give it up
I oughta' leave the stage
I gotta run away
but I keep falling on my face
....oh another day another race
....for the runner

I keep reaching for the stars
I keep grabbing at the ring
I try lassoing the moon
But I'm feeling every sting
I oughta' give it up
Ioughta' quit the play
I keep talking to myself
but there's nothing left to say
...another day another race is done
...his rest is shattered by the starting gun
...cause he's the runner
I'm climbing over mountains
I'm climbing over rocks
I'm climbing to the summit
to the chiming of the clock
I oughta' give it up
I oughta' call a truce
I gotta raise a flag
but I wonder what's the use

I'm hiding from the bullets
I'm hiding from their spears
I'm hiding from the onslaught
Hiding from the years
I gotta give it up
I oughta' take a bow
I can't avoid the curtain
It's descending on me now
...Day by day he fights the marathon
...Step by step towards oblivion
...The course he fights it's a lonely one
...cause he's the runner

I'm running out of rhymes
I'm running out of answers
I'm stepping out of time
Getting trampled by the dancers
I try running away
I keep falling on my face
....another day another race to run
....for the runner

....Other runners overtaking him
...the pace to great you know he'll never win
...but now he's surging in a second wind
...cause he's the runner

I'm falling to the bottom
I'm falling from the graces
I'm falling into darkness
I keep staring into faces
I oughta show my hand
I oughta go all in
I gotta call there bluff
Maybe I could win
...one more race
...one more chance
...for the runner
