Running From The Love Of Your Life

(album: Chimes At Midnight - 2022)

Running from the love of your life
Angels on the dark side
Baby says she wanna get down
With some of the evil that goes around
It's a straight and it's a narrow path
And something's gotta give at last
And I just gotta give it to you
You're really good at all the shit you do

Dancing like a snake, you wanna let it slide
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
Need some excitement, you don't wanna lie
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know

Pulling at your lifeline
If you wanna live this way, it's fine
I'm not a very moral man, you see
I'm never judging anyone but me
You and I, we heard the chimes at midnight
Yes, and my allegiance lies with you
And sweet wine, tears and rock 'n' roll
And I know, that you would never lie to me
And that's the truth

Four in the morning, just look at him go
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
Need some excitement, you don't wanna lie
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
Oh, it wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
We've heard the chimes at midnight
Jesus, the days we've seen
