lyrics

Runner

Stay and talk a while with crocodiles has taken its toll 🐊
Making mole hills out of mountains is called getting old 👵🏼
They don’t think she looks as good as she once did 💃
She got a job, got a house, and had a couple of kids 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

Everybody knows he’s out of control
He’s shoutin’ noise up on the mountain to the valley bellow ⛰
Movin’ his feet around so fast, the mouths are speakin’ it slow
He’s tryin’ to keep up with the weather man, she’s off findin’ a better man ❄️🌿☀️🍂

And I don’t mean to take the piss out of a vending machine 🏧
I swear to god I’d burn it down if I could buy gasoline ⛽️
They don’t pay you to take honey away from the hive 🐝
You need money making money to survive - honey 🍯

Drag your feet along the street
where dreams meet up with concrete 🛌
Find a beat and
do the dance where you don’t care any more 🕺🏻
Nobody’s watching nobodies watching no bodies watching nobody 👀
Drag your feet, find a beat 💗
