The Run from Response by Reid Savage

The Run

Dealing from a deck of pain,
I thought about you when they called your name.
I sit at home and read the telephone.
I’m folding every day.

People always getting nowhere.
Do they really reach out?
Did you find another place in the sun?
Man, what a runaround.

You skip a beat and it’s all blown away.
You feel anxious. It’s another new day.
Friends are punching, full of fun.
What makes it worth the run?

Ooh, what a runaround.
Debt racking up, status sinking down.
Ooh, what a runaround.
Ain’t worth the duds that you stand in.

You’re aching for the call to go.
They dreamed about you when they saw your name.
You wait at home. The inbox doesn’t play.
You dread this every day.

People always going somewhere.
Do they ever reach town?
Can they find another beat on the drum?
Yeah – Vegas turnaround.

You skip a beat and it’s all hell to pay.
You feel anxious. It’s another new day.
Vegas rolling in the sun -
That makes it worth the run.

Ooh, what a runaround.
Debt racking up, status sinking down.
Ooh, what a runaround.
Ain’t worth the duds that you stand in.
