Neon glistens and shadows wave

Who knows whether we're stupid or brave

And they say we are

Oh we are

Running scared

No use in fighting in the name of pride

When there probably isn't any place to hide

And the two of us

Two of us

Running scared

They're fakin' their peace and makin' their tracks

They're watching you, watching them, watching your backs

And they know we are

Oh we are

Running scared

Running scared

From hearsay and hate

Fatality and fate

St Peter's pearly gate

On the run

To merciful release

Where paranoias cease

And an everlasting peace

Is not a gun

We could be pushing it much too far

Well maybe we, maybe, just maybe we are

And the both of us

Both of us

Running scared

Running scared

From hearsay and hate

Fatality and fate

St Peter's pearly gate

On the run

To merciful release

Where paranoias cease

And an everlasting peace

Is not a gun

Running

Running scared
