All The Roadrunning

1. a million miles our vegabond heels

clocked up beneath the clouds

they're counting down to showtime

when we'll do it for real with the crowds

Air miles are owning but they don't come for free

And they don't give you any for pain

but if it's all for nothing

all the roadrunning, has been in vain

2. The rimshots come down like cannon fire

and thunders off the wall

there's a man in every corner

and each one's giving his all

this is my piper, this is my drum

so you'll never will hear me complain

and if it's all for nothing

all the roadrunning has been in vain

all the roadrunning

all the roadrunning

3. Well if you’re inclined to go up on the wall

It can only be fast and high

And those who don’t like the danger soon

Find something different to try

And when there is only a ring in your ears

And an echo down memory lane

Then if it’s all for nothing

All the roadrunning has been in vain

All the roadrunning

All the roadrunning

All the roadrunning

All the roadrunning

4. The show’s packing up, i sit and I watch

The carnival eaving town

There’s no pretending that I’m not a fool

For riding around and around

Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death

You showed me one time on the plane

But if it’s all for nothing

All the roadrunning, has been in vain

5. I've a million miles of vagabond sky

Clocked up above the clouds

And i’m still your man for the roaming

For as long as there's roaming allowed

There’ll be a rider and there’ll be a wall

As long as the dream remains

And if it’s all for nothing

All the road running, it’s been in vain

All the roadrunning

All the roadrunning

All the roadrunning

All the roadrunnung
