Lyrics

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

You run too fast, fly too high
Run too fast, fly too high

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

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
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

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
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

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