Ballad Of A Running Man lyrics

For years I avoided caffeine 
For years I was clean 
I was calm and complete 
Then the world fell down round my ears 
Had a change in my state 
Bug eyed and awake 

I was grinding my teeth in my habitat 
I couldn't stand still I was running back 
But it was gone 

Smack smack smacking my hands 
Flap flapping my hands 
Lick licking my wounds 
Will it help me 
Rip rip ripping my skin 
Clip clipping my wings 
Pick picking my bones 
Will it help me 
Hip hip hip to the beat 
I can't find my own feet 
Can't see where I stand 
Ballad of a running man 
Jam Jam marathon man 

For years I was wrapped up in blue 
On sunny afternoons 
Sunbathed but unmoved 
On the ground I found me a stooge 
He was clear out of school 
With a theory to prove 

He said he understood so I told him 
It was just like I'd read in a magazine 
Said I thought it was weird to be stumbling 
And that it felt like a race I was running in 
That's already run 

Smack smack smacking my hands 
Flap flapping my hands 
Lick licking my wounds 
Will it help me 
Rip rip ripping my skin 
Clip clipping my wings 
Pick picking my bones 
Will it help me 
Hip hip hip to the beat 
I can't find my own feet 
Can't see where I stand 
Ballad of a running man 
Jam Jam marathon man
