noon glistens and shadows wave

who know whether we're stupid or brave

and they way we are

oh we are

running scared



no use fighting in the name of pride

when there probably isn't any place to hide

and the two of us

running scared



they're fakin' their peace and makin' their tracks

they

re watching you, watching them, watching your backs

and they know we are

oh we are

running scared



running scared

from hearsay and hate

fatality and fate

st peter's pearly gate

on the run

to merciful release

where paranoias cease

and an everlasting peace

is not a gun



we could be pushing it much too far

well maybe we, maybe, just maybe we are

and the both of us

both of us

running scared



excuse me officer, don't you know

that this is the place where you people don't go

here we go

here we go

running scared



running scared

from hearsay and hate

fatality and fate

st peter's pearly gate

on the run

to merciful release

where paranoias cease

and an everlasting peace

is not a gun



running

running scared
