Stranger things have happened Overheard it all Come the new religion Overheard the call Have I overstayed my welcome On the FM radio? Did I capture some affection Should I pack it up and go? Did the preacher lack the patience To retire all his fears? Well, there's a breach along the pavement And we've been running here for years You know I love the subtle silence I even love the rodeo And I'll do the lifetime sentence 16 and 20 more to go Can you see the riders coming On the long line of your fate? Well, stranger things have happened Than spying them too late Did your teacher miss the moment To inspire all your peers? There's a breach along the pavement And we've been running here for years There's a bleeding on the sidelines And pictures on the wall There's stories in the red wine And whispers through the hall There's an answer in my mind's eye That I can't find with a drink And I am running so we don't die And I cannot stop to think Will the seekers have the payment That requires all your tears? There's a breach along the pavement And we've been running here for years There's a breach along the pavement And we've been running here for years
