Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness

(album: Exile On Coldharbour Lane - 1997)

Everybody gotta run sometime

Come home late, come home early
Come home big when I'm feeling small
Come home straight, come home fucked-up
Sometimes I don't come home at all

What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run

You've a heart that burns with a fever
You've got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Leave me so damn far behind?

Tell me now

What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run

It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
(Heartbreakin's what it is)
It's crossed that evil line today
(Let's cross it together, hand-in-hand)
I can't think about tomorrow
(Well now, who can?)
I ain't got one word to say
(Now sing along)

What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run
