Running Around The Town
Well it starts and it ends in 25 minutes
I met a man down in Waterloo
Casual dressed to impress I guess
The women that he wants to know
It's the trail on the South West rail that prevailed
Had a lot to do it too
Young men I know went toe to toe
Over young girl that he knew
Well she starts in the park with a heavy heart
And waited til her lips turn blue
Waiting in show, she blamed it on the snow
That fell into the back of your shoe
Said the cocaine fast lane has taken my old flames
Now it's taken my new
Well I don't blame no game players make their own names
Now I'm blaming you
Call on me when your heart breaks down
I'm never too busy to come out running around the town
So call on me when you need to be found
Never too busy to come out running around the town
As it starts getting dark we hear the dogs bark
I guess burglar Bill's been killed
And as sharp as his wit Danny's never been kissed
By the girls who live up on a hill
He says cigarette butts bad luck like the robber
I don't think I'll ever feel
Accepted, expensive and looking so rejected
Is all I know how to do
Call on me when your heart breaks down
I'm never too busy to come out running around the town
So call on me when you need to be found
Never too busy to come out running around the town
He said when I'm gone will things carry on
The same as they ever do
Jumping red lights, racing Saturday nights
Into Sunday afternoons
Getting high as the sky while the rumours fly
Tv in the living room
Shows bombs getting dropped and people getting shot
In a lands that he never knew
Call on me when your heart breaks down
I'm never too busy to come out running around the town
So call on me when you need to be found
Never too busy to come out running around the town
