When I was young I decided I was weird Seemed all together But something was wrong People disagree but I couldn't hear it I never met a man that could prove me wrong So I've been running for a thousand years 'Cause I kept thinking it would make me strong But the voices followed, clipped the back of my heels 'Til I tripped up and couldn't go on Yeah, I couldn't go on Stick around long enough to outrun the fear Time moves slow when you move so quick Sneakers go rose, blown up in a big war Thousand-year lives run deep in my cheek So I've been running for a thousand years 'Cause I kept thinking it would make me strong But the voices followed, clipped the back of my heels 'Til I tripped up and couldn't go on Yeah, I couldn't go on So long, farewell, farewell, I'm gone So long, farewell, I'm gone
