Runaround Man

We're out of time, we're out of line



We're all out here waiting for a crime



We don't mind, we ain't fooled



We're gonna read you the real bad news



Fire in the hole, bullets in the sky



We know something and we can't tell a lie



Gonna run away, gonna run amok



Gonna run my mouth 'til I run out of luck



Alright, leave me out, give a dog a bone



Been a long time since I've been home



Running over land, running over sea



Get on the dog and talk dirty to me



Running up a street, running up a hill



Hotel telephone running up a bill



Chase my tail, catch me if you can



Don't wanna mess with the runaround man



We're out of cokes, clean out of smokes



It's not funny 'cause we run out of jokes



Going to the movies, babes in the wood



Gonna get a telescope, look real good



Gonna run out, rolling like a rock



Gonna get a girl and she gonna get me off



Gonna be a man, gonna be a fool



Gonna be a dog with a mouthful of booze



Oh yeah, gonna be free, run away to the sea



Gonna be a pirate, you'll never find me



Going over sea, going over land



Get made up like the elephant man



Stand in line, waiting for a break



Live in California, waiting for a quake



Chase my tail, catch me if you can



Don't you mess with the runaround man



We're in a hole, we're in a fix



Give the dog a bone and throw me a stick



Don't be a bitch, singing the blues



Don't like the shirt and we don't like the shoes



Gonna walk out, gonna walk away



Gonna walk the dog, honey, every other day



Gonna be strong, stand your ground



Gonna be funny when they send in the clowns



Hey, hey, give me a clue, show me a trick



Go to Brazil and see what you missed



Getting too close, getting too near



Don't even know what I'm doing out here



Going too fast, never gonna stop



Know how to roll and we know how to rock



Chase my tail, do the best you can



You can't mess with the runaround man
