Lyrics Angelic Upstarts

Angelic Upstarts

Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

The loneliness of the long distance runner

The loneliness is the feeling inside

This was the start that was the end

Saying goodbye to my friends, goodbye

No one can break the spirit of the loner

They’ll never know what’s going through his mind

This was the start that was the end

Saying goodbye to my friends, goodbye

Just when you think the spirit has been broken

Just when you think the feeling’s gone inside

Hell turns the system with its way of thinking

And all those walls will crash down inside

This was the start that was the end

Saying goodbye to my friends

The system was broke and you thought you’d beat me

And I wish you could taste my victory

Goodbye, goodbye

The loneliness of the long distance runner

The loneliness is the feeling inside

This was the start that was the end

Saying goodbye to my friends, goodbye

Goodbye

This was the start that was the end

Saying goodbye to my friends

This was the start that was the end

Saying goodbye to my friends

Goodbye, goodbye
