Out in the woods, hidin' from the birds Up on the wire, walkin' the tightrope You need so bad to be on your way Not here not there, Hidin' all away Might be in Mexico might be in China Drivin' that train to north Carolina Dancin' around you found yourself in Japan My dear, you're lost without a plan carrying the mule in the morning dew Put on your stilts, you better follow that crew Put on your stilts, you better follow that crew Run baby run, run run baby run Run baby run, run run baby run Run baby run, run run baby run Run baby run, run run baby run The weight of the past makes you sway (Run baby run) Goin' up, goin' down, eather way (Run baby run) Will you ever be ready for that? Go back and fix it from scratch Or just like a butcher with his knive You'll cut off pieces of your live Take the highway and hide away again Nothing will ever change at the end Dancin' around you found yourself in Japan My dear, you're lost without a plan carrying the mule in the morning dew Put on your stilts, you better follow that crew Put on your stilts, you better follow that crew Run baby run, run run baby run Run baby run, run run baby run Run baby run, run run baby run Run baby run, run run baby run The weight of the past makes you sway (Run baby run) Goin' up, goin' down, eather way (Run baby run)
