Cold lasts for too long The shade sleeps in my bed Alone with my own thoughts I battle against my head I can't see the sun It's a crooked perspective My notion of daylight Is slightly deceptive You try to sleep, but the night's too loud You feel alone inside every crowd You try to run, you must get away You check the time but it's still today You gotta run in the city You gotta run from city Running against the stream Like a tired fish Someone by your side Is your only wish Monday's burning bad Tuesday was a sting Wednesday cuts you like a knife What will Thursday bring You try to sleep, but the night's too loud You feel alone inside every crowd You try to run, you must get away You check the time but it's still today You gotta run in the city You gotta run from city Uuuuuh, You gotta run in the city, run in the city Yeaaaah, You gotta run from city, run from the city When you don't say what you really wanna say You become a dead soul, faking smiles everyday And the truth is you need something different for a change Cause the straight line is keeping your real self away
