Everybody thinks they know me I've never been understood And all the lies they tell about me, It's no wonder they think I'm no good. When you showed up in my life, and I looked up to your eyes I didn't know who you could be So I tried to run, run, run, run, run away From the running man Everybody thinks they know you You've never been understood And all the lies they tell about you, It's no wonder they think you're no good When I showed up in your life You knew the chance you had to take A one way ticket to paradise, But I had to run, run, run, run, run away Spotlights search the sky Fighting to survive the night I need you, you need me to make it out of here alive I need you, you need me to get out on the other side I'm the running man Fighting this electric opera Racing from scene to scene Were gonna make it through this nightmare Like nothing you have ever seen They tell us that we'll never make it out But I know that you're the one Together we can face tomorrow, we're gonna Run run run run runaway You're the running man
