The Long Distance Runner

The Motorhomes The Long Distance Runner Lyrics
1.Long Distance Runners

Don't think we don't care much
It's a mistake
Time is on our side
Don't let it die now
We'll make it somehow
It's a mistake
Time is on our side
Don't let it die now
We'll make it somehow
Don't think we don't care much

We are the long distance runners
We are the solitaire ones
We are all alone when we are nothing
We are on our own when we fall

If we run then you can run with us
Come on and run with us
If we run then run with us

Don't think we are asleep now
We never will
Don't you complain now
It's not your problem
Because you don't listen
You never will
Time is on our side
We'll make it somehow
Don't let it die now
Don't think we are asleep now


2.The Man

I'm getting tired with the commotion
You keep on talking but nothing happens
You've got big plans for your brilliant future
Where streets are gold paved and you're the man
The Man

You're the man with the plan it's a brilliant scam
You're the king in the ring what a terrible thing
It's a shame that your game didn't work on the kids
Sing it out everyone we won't do what people say

You had it worked out, oh what a workout
You had us singing as you were saying:
This is the future, this is your future!
And we applaud as you hit the gold paved cement


3.Congas

You've got your thing your sensibility
You like that word and I don't know what it means
I'm on a plane to anywhere to Memphis or Japan
Maybe I'll dance, I like to dance

Your reality where I don't want to be
Please come rescue me from your reality

You get your kicks in fashion magazines
A dead routine and nobody knows what it means
I'm on a plane that's taking me to NY, USA
I'll roam the streets to anywhere


4.Question

I love the modern age
I love the modern age
Rock is glam
Bombs burst in the air

I love the modern age
I love the modern age
Rock and roll
And the superbowl
You gave us Elvis and the A-Bomb
Now you can shine a light on everyone

I love the modern age
I love the modern age
Neon lights
Human rights

I love the modern age
I love the modern age
I love the way they say
Be like us or we'll blow you away
You gave us Elvis and the A-Bomb
Now you can shine a light on everyone

I'm going to race you into space now
Now I can shine a light on everyone

I'm going to race you into space now
I'm going to race you into space now
I'm going to race you into space now
I'm going to race you into space now
I'm going to race you into space now
I'm going to race you into space now
I'm going to race you into space now
Now I can shine a light on everyone


5.I Wanna Make You Sing

I'm standing here
Next to you
Wondering if
This time I might pass
As something else, something more
Not a friend
I'm not your friend

I wanna make you sing
I'll tell you everything
If I can make you sing
I'd give anything
Just to hear you sing
I wanna make you sing
I wanna make you sing

I'm so sorry
I made you worry
I wasn't sane
I acted like a mad man
But I couldn't stand
Your proposition
Let us just be friends
I'm not your friend

But I'm not that lucky
I'm never that lucky


6.Psalm

I danced all winter so summer came as a surprise
Terrible thing that I've done tracing your steps too long
I laughed all summer I laughed until I dropped my guard
Terrible things that I've said hating you all too much,
loving you all to much

Oh I wish I could be like you, so I asked you how and then you
said: no,
no you don't want to be like me, so don't try to be, I hope you
won't turn in to me
It took October I think it took November too
Then all it took was a push and I turned into you
Oh no, i turned into you.


7.Stop Me

This might be one of the last songs
I'll ever sing, tonight is alright
I'm not shy and I will please you
I'm still alive, tonight is alright

Stop me now
Because I am falling
Falling out of line
It's hard
But I'm trying
I won't let you down

I don't care where you are going
I'll dance all night with your best friend
Life is hard enough without you
So why pretend
This is the end

You do not want to see me like this
I am falling


8.End of the World

The end of the world was announced some time ago
But the closer it gets less it seems you want to know
The end of the world was it all, all I could get
I wasted my time, feel no remorse, have no regrets

Leave me here where I belong
All heroes are gone, stayed here too long
Leave me here, I'm on my own
With the greatest pain I've ever known

A second hand man with no plan, nothing to do
I've gone out of style, have no chance to keep up with you

Leave me here where I belong
All heroes are gone, stayed here too long
Leave me here, I'm on my own
With the greatest pain I've ever known

Leave me here where I belong
All heroes are gone, stayed here too long
Leave me here, I'm on my own
With the greatest pain I've ever known


9.Go!

I've gotten over you
But it took time
A long time

Now I've put you behind
And now I'm fine
Oh so fine

And I loved you so
Was it good for you
Did I turn you on
Now it's time to move on

I am a new star
And I'm alright
It's alright
And I've got a brand new heart
And that's a start
A good start

And I love you so
Like I always do
But then you're no good
And now I only wish I could undo
My love for you


10.Love

You could be mistaken
You could be wrong or be faking
When you look at me like that

Still I know your love can save me
Be good to me baby
And I'll be good this time
Still I know your love can save me

You could be an angel
The devil that is coming to take me
When you look at me like that

Oh won't you kiss me and hold me
And tell me you love me
Oh I would sure like that

Still I know your love can save me


11.The End

Where have the good people gone
They've left the city and marched on, and on
And I knew this day would come along
But I thought that I would see it come

So I made a mistake
I get my kicks on my own now
I'm on fire and I won't hold back
You damn liars you left me behind
I've made up my mind
Fall away in time
This is my goodbye

I won't stop till the end
I'm on the highway, I'm heading your way
Wheels on fire and I won't slow down
You damn liars you will get yours
Never again
I've made up my mind
Fall away in time
This is my goodbye
An hour from dawn, everything's clear
As the sun shines white
This is my goodbye

You left me behind
I've made up my mind
Fall away in time
This is my goodbye
An hour from dawn, everything's clear
As the sun shines, white
This is my goodbye
This is my goodbye
