I've been sitting here for many days now They've been looking for me for many days too From where I'm sitting I can see their angry faces It's only a matter of time They'll be on to me The sirens, helicopters and tings The bloodhounds are on my tail, oh God Just in minutes They'll be tearing me apart If I don't do now What I've been doing all my life I'll be running... all my life I was running... all my life I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man Seeking political asylum, is not an easy thing down here My father had friends in high places And in low places too Everytime we asked him to stop running We would say "Leave all to me, I'll make it right" Today he's gone, I'm still running Coyotes and vultures closing in on me I take it as a warning I'll be running I'll be running 'Cause I am I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man The fugitive I'm the running man
