Running Water

Let's go running mad through the streets of this town

Let's get so high we'll never come down

Your lungs are clean and your heart is strong

Who would believe there is anything wrong?

Into the hills where the tall trees grow

See the lights come on in the valley below

The ocean breeze blows the clouds away!

Hey, I've been smoking two packets a day

So don't you talk too loud - dream on dream on

Nothing in this world ever lasts too long

Maybe now, maybe tomorrow

We'll drink running water

We'll drink running water

We'll drink running water

Do you recall your best laid plans?

Do you recall how life used to be

Before the sky turned red and poison filled the sea

You could open your window and water was free

So don't you talk too loud - dream on dream on

Nothing in this world ever lasts too long

Maybe now, maybe tomorrow

We'll drink running water

Then if you feel life is passing you by

Just step outside and you can see why

There's a hole overhead and the light's pouring in

Civilisation is burning your skin

Is there no escape from the fire that will come

Will your children play in the afternoon sun

Just take this moment and make it your own

Seal every crack - make a fortress your home

So don't you talk too loud - dream on dream on

Nothing in this world ever lasts too long

Maybe now, maybe tomorrow

We'll drink running water

We'll drink running water

We'll drink running water

Run run running water

Run run running water
