Running Water

(альбом: Ghost Nation - 1989)

Let's go running mad through the streets of this town
Let's get so high we'll never come down
Your lungs are clean and your heart is strong
Who would believe there is anything wrong?

Into the hills where the tall trees grow
See the lights come on in the valley below
The ocean breeze blows the clouds away!
Hey, I've been smoking two packets a day

But don't you talk too loud – dream on dream on
Nothing in this world ever lasts too long
Maybe now, maybe tomorrow
We'll drink running water

We'll drink running water
We'll drink running water

Do you recall your best laid plans?
Do you recall how life used to be?
Before the sky turned red and poison filled the sea
You could open your window and water was free

But don't you talk too loud – dream on dream on
Nothing in this world ever lasts too long
Maybe now, maybe tomorrow
We'll drink running water
We'll drink running water

Then if you feel life is passing you by
Just step outside and you can see why
There's a hole overhead and the light's pouring in
Civilisation is burning your skin

Is there no escape from the fire that will come
Will your children play in the afternoon sun
Just take this moment and make it your own
Seal every crack – make a fortress your home

But don't you talk too loud – dream on dream on
Nothing in this world ever lasts too long
Maybe now, maybe tomorrow
We'll drink running water

We'll drink running water
We'll drink running water

Run run running water
Run run running water
Run run running water
Run run running water
