Run For The Roses

R: Run, run, run for the roses.

The quicker it opens the sooner it closes.

Man, oh man, oh friend of mine,

All good things in all good time

1. Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon

They're both too heavy, but what can you do?

Reach for the stars, smack into the sky

You don't want to live but your chicken to die

Ooh, you're chicken to die

R: Run, run, run...

2. Run for the money, caught short on the rent

Big ideas but the cash is all spent

The trouble with love is its other face

You just want the cup but you don't want the race

No, you don't want the race

R: Run, run, run...

3. Reach for the rose, get caught on the briar

You're warming to love, next thing there's a fire

If you've got the "do-re", I've got the "mi"

I've got a notion, we're all at sea

Yes, we're all at sea

R: Run, run, run... (2x)
