Running

from Billy Is Dead by Tearing Up

lyrics

Take the old newspaper, rip it up into pieces
wrap it around the twigs we're building fires on the beaches
the juice drips down her chin, biting into the peaches
she raises her fist up and screams “Here’s to the pleasure seekers”

RUNNING!
I am the wind that shakes the leaves A voice off in the distance that says “You shall be free!”
RUNNING!
Oh this is just what I need
To be carried on the wind
Like the dandelion seeds
(Alright)

The sky looks beautiful tonight
like someone took a paint brush
With a can of paint the size of Lake Huron
and the colour was called "voluptuous"


and the words on the tip of your tongue
but you can’t recall what it is
then you realize it doesn’t matter much when you're naked in front of an audience

RUNNIN!
I am the wind that shakes the leaves
I'm voice off in the distance says "you shall be set free!"
RUNNIN’
Oh this is just what I need
To be carried on the wind
Like the dandelion seeds
(Alright)

There is a woman, she is tried and she is true
she kicked her shoes into the dirt and away she flew
There is a sound, that I can feel
Those good vibrations that come in and out the field
There is a bird, I don’t remember what it’s called
but it’s song gets stuck in my head and it helps me get along
And that woman’s runnin’
she’s runnin' up a flight a stairs,
heart racin'
No more fighting, no more chasin’
Up one flight of stairs now
Up two flights of stairs now
Up three flights of stairs now
Up Four flights of stairs now
Up five flights of stairs now
Up Six flights of stairs now
Up Seven flights of stairs now
Up eight flights of stairs now
She’s going all the way
All the way to the top!

RUNNING!
I am the wind that shakes the leaves
I'm a voice off in the distance that says “You shall be free!”
RUNNING!
Oh this is just what I need
To be carried on the wind
Like the dandelion seeds
RUNNING!
The dogs are tearing off the leash
Pushing up against the pavement
Setting fire to the street
RUNNING!
Oh this is just what I need
To be carried on the wind Like the dandelion seeds
(Alright)
