Terry Hall
Running From The Thoughts
[Intro]
[Chorus]
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it
Tryna get away
Keep dragging me into it
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it
Tryna get away
How many times we been through it
[Verse 1]
Communication breakdown
Party anthem laid down
Spirits of a playground
Running from a grey town
Amityville Horror
Ghosts form the past
That will travel through tomorrow, follow
Each and every step that I take
As many bars I break
I still can't escape
So at night I stay awake
Go out and separate
My soul from my conscience
And all I can equate
Is a bunch of crazy nonsense
[Chorus Modified 1]
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it (bumping back into it)
Tryna get away (tryna get away)
Keep dragging me into it
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it (just leave me alone man)
Tryna get away (I'm tryna get away)
How many times we been through it
[Verse 2]
Try to stay versatile
And switch up my pattern
Can't keep it rotating like the rings of Saturn
Got to break the cycle
And move it like nitro
Get it out of my head before I go psycho
Insomniac on the track
Falling out, bouncing back
Coming with the wild attack
Trying to keep my mind intact
Back to the days of the past
Keep popping in my head like a memory flash
[Chorus Modified 2]
Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)
I keep bumping back into it (keep bumping back into it)
Tryna get away (tryna get away)
Keep dragging me into it (keep dragging me down man)
Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)
I keep bumping back into it (say what say what)
Tryna get away (I'm tryna get away)
How many times we been through it (how many time are we gonna do it man?)
Oh shit
Just can't get out of that circle
Just got me bicycling home
Yeah, oh you really want it motherfuckers?
Here we go
[Verse 3]
Time to move the mast
Throw them in my moustache
Roll a big spliff
Light it up with a match
Puff puff
Rocking kasbahs like the clash
We can all sit back and watch the world crash
Then pick up the pieces of the fractured elements
Write your last will and testament
Like it was the end
But its never the end
I hate to tell you my friend
They keep coming back again and again
[Chorus Modified 3]
Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)
I keep bumping back into it (keep bumping back into it)
Tryna get away (tryna get away)
Keep dragging me into it (keep dragging me down man)
Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)
I keep bumping back into it (say what say what)
Tryna get away (I'm tryna get away)
How many times we been through it (how many times?)
Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)
I keep bumping back into it
Tryna get away (tryna get away)
Keep dragging me into it
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it (say what say what)
Tryna get away
How many times we been through it (how many time are we gonna do it man?)
[Chorus Modified 4]
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it
Tryna get away
Keep dragging me into it
Running from the thoughts
I keep bumping back into it
Tryna get away
How many times we been through it (how many time are we gonna do it man?)
