[Verse 1]
Anonymous autonomous
Will likely get the best of us yet
Before you disappear
If you can lend me half an ear I'll regret
If I treat you like a number
It's because I can't remember your name
So have another cigarette
And help me to forget why I came

[Chorus]
You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high

[Verse 2]
On dark and lonely nights
I'm only right when things are bright on the floor
I'm dancing and romancing
Gallivanting with a handsome I score
And if you don't believe me
You should see me when I'm ready to roar
I'll lose my concentration
On a new infatuation I'm sure

[Chorus]
You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
You got no past, no goodbye
Run too fast, and you fly too high
[Bridge]
Would you believe
I was once gonna be somebody? (Yeah, yeah)
I packed up my bags
And I took what I had to the city (Yeah, yeah)
Man, it was rough to find the best I could be
Was just waiting for the limit on a color TV
Now I've made it this far
Got a room on the park and a view
And you
Fly too high

[Verse 3]
Hanging around on the infield
What do you steal
But another feel at the top?
Making believe in the long run
When a shotgun
Is the way to get out of the shop
You can hang tail in a new jail
You can go bail
You can dance until you drop
There ain't no fool like an old fool
In a new school
You just can't stop
[Chorus]
You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high
Got no past, no goodbye
You run too fast and you fly too high

[Outro]
I see, this is 'cause you guys thought we wouldn't do any old songs. I know.
