Yellow Ostrich - Marathon Runner lyrics

When I was a boy of seventeen I know it's mean But I, I told my friend to give up on her dreams She hated me But I knew dreams were for the best of us Not for the rest of us And I, I didn't want to share with anyone I need a way to sing the greatest dance And make them laugh I could win the wars, or lose the battles too Whichever's true I am living other people's lives I can't stop putting on other people's clothes I love them 'til I leave [Chorus] I am a marathon runner And my legs are sore And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for I am a hot air balloon on a sailboat I would make this my home if I'd learn to float So take my treasures Take my earthly life I'll try to cry I will live without the things I love the best So hold them to your chest I will lose my faces, lose my stolen wigs The heads of kings I will run until I know what to believe [Chorus] I am a marathon runner And my legs are sore And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for I am a hot air balloon on a sailboat I would make this my home if I'd learn to float I am a marathon runner And my legs are sore And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for I am a hot air balloon on a sailboat I would make this my home if I'd learn to float
