Running For Cover

(album: Welcome To Poppy's - 2003)

For forty days and for forty nights
I been walking down these streets
Trying to get it right

But down there lies darkness
Down there lies the past
Down there my conscience
Kinda kicked my ass

You got me running for cover
Running from being me
You got me running for cover
For crying out loud

I hear them moaning from distant lands
Have some hookers shut 'em up with some swollen glands
Now beggin's changed, I guess you'll do
Just a hood rat all jacked off and tangled up in blue

There's blood at home, there's blood on my street
How am I to smile in complete defeat?
Well, I'm jumping into limbo, trying to feel alive
I'm jumping into limbo and I like it

You got me running for cover
Running from being me
You got me running for cover
For crying out loud

Into the quiet dusk I see curvy clouds choking up on irony
I give it a pause and I break to the left
But I'm wasted and I can't seem to catch my breath
Here I go, just one more time

Finding out what's going on with the party line
Well, I'm jumping into limbo trying to feel alive
I'm jumping into limbo and I like it

You got me running for cover
Running from being me
You got me running for cover
For crying out loud
