I’m A-runnin’ Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright
From tommy tricker and the stamp traveller soundtrack
Im a-runnin
Im a-runnin from you
cause youre a-chasin
Youre a-chasin me to
The end of the earth
Or the city of kingdom come
I can see ya
I can see you way back
You can see me
Youre gonna stab me in the back
But not unless
I can outrun you
Well, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because Im never gonna let you get me
At all
I can see you
Youre a bullet in flight
Im a-runnin
Through a star in the night
That will never shine
Upon this darkened earth
Oh, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because Im never gonna let you get me
At all
Over mountain
Over valley and sea
Im a-runnin
So that you cant catch me
And if the gods are there
They will pull me through
Because Im never gonna let you get me
At all
Because Im never gonna let you get me
At all
Runnin away from you
Runnin away from you
