Running Scared

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The neon glistens and shadows wave Who knows whether we're stupid or brave? And they say 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, 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 [Chorus] (Running scared) From heresy and hate, fatality and fate St. Peter's pearly gate, on the run (running scared) To merciful release, where paranoias cease And an everlasting peace is not a gun [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] (Running scared) From heresy and hate, fatality and fate St. Peter's pearly gate, on the run (running scared) To merciful release, where paranoias cease And an everlasting peace is not a gun [Verse 2] 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? And that's why we are, here we are Running scared [Chorus] (Running scared) From heresy and hate, fatality and fate St. Peter's pearly gate, on the run (running scared) To merciful release, where paranoias cease And an everlasting peace is not a gun [Outro] (Running, running, running, running Running, running, running, running Running, running, running, running Running, running scared, running, running Running, running, running, running Running, running scared, running, running Running, running, running, running)
