I’ve been sitting here for many days now
They’ve been looking for me for many days too
From where I’m sitting
I can see their angry faces
It’s only a matter of time
They’ll be on to me
The sirens, helicopters and tanks
The bloodhounds are on my trail, Oh God
Just in minutes
They’ll be tearing me apart
If I don’t do now
What I’ve been doing all my life
I’ll be running… all my life
I was running… all my life

[Chorus:]
I’m the running man
The fugitive …

Seeking political asylum is not easy thing down here
My father had friends in high places
And in low places too
Every time we asked him to stop running
He would say
“Leave all to me, I’ll make it right”
Today he’s gone, I’m still running
Coyotes and vultures closing in on me
I take it as a warning
I’ll be running
I’ll be running
‘Cause I am

[Chorus till fade]
