Was a day like any other
Didn't feel like any magic when I rolled out of bed
Didn't know what I'd uncover
"This is gonna be the future",
least that's what they said.

I was only crossing wires
Just like crossing fingers
Hoping that it would work
Then his eyes lit up like fire
I stood there like a mime as he said his first words

You gotta run, run, run
Gotta run like you're chasing the sun
You gotta run, run, run
Gotta run like you're chasing the sun
There's no 911 when you know that you're the smoking gun
You gotta run, run, run
Gotta run like you're chasing the sun

So you say they had it coming
At least that's what you told yourself as you struck the match
You called the offices in London
And then you shred all of the papers,
Threw them down the hatch

You gotta run, run, run
Gotta run like you're chasing the sun
You gotta run, run, run
Gotta run like you're chasing the sun
There's no 911 when you know that you're the smoking gun
You gotta run, run, run
Gotta run like you're chasing the sun
