In Wake

Strung out on the wire, Closer to the end.
You bite your lip and stutter but I can still see your pain.
and you are the sweetest thing I know.

So you think you got it all, you and the social elite.
The more you try to control like a common old cheat.
and you are the sweetest thing I know.

You better run run runaway
You better run run runaway
It don’t get much better, much better then this
It don’t get much better then this

Too late it’s not enough, you kind of missed the grade.
Reality she’s waking up like a slap in the face.
and you are the sweetest thing I know.

Out on the highway, just around the bend.
My God there’s a warning like a distant voise on the wind.

You better run run runaway
You better run run runaway
It don’t get much better, much better then this
It don’t get much better then this

And I don’t even know which way the winds will blow I’m just too tired to play the game.
I’ve seen it all before inwake tears will flow and I don’t even know your name.

I heard it all before so many years ago and I won’t ever feel the same.
Tell me and I’ll begin the joke I’m living in I could care less about your name.

You better run run runaway
You better run run runaway
It don’t get much better, much better then this
It don’t get much better then this.
