It's easy to dismiss the 'what's it all about' crowd.
There is no doubt. it's this, here, now.
So you work it out, overfeed the cat.
And the plants are dry and they need to drink.
So you do your best. and you flood the sink.
Sit down in the kitchen and cry.
Now the universe left you for a runners lap.
It feels like home when it comes crashing back.
How you've worked it out |
All along the range all along the range

You'rCe on your ear, thFe ocean's near, the Clight has started to Ffade
Your hCigh is timed, you fFound the climb, It's hCard to focus on mFore
Than what's in fCront of you, ElFectron Blue, advCenture rings with a pFage and
When it dawns on you,it sings 'yeux blue', your buzz beginning to wane.
AdDmventure has laid its clCaim on you
It's Amall you want to Gdo.
DmYou ... you know where to rCunAm
And who am I? I'm just a guy I've got a story like everyone
But in your eyes you looked surprised and didn't know where to run
I looked to her she's found the cure her future's already begun
Tomorrow's gaining speed on you it's all you want to do
You ... you know where to run
You ... you know where to run
[F]
So bide your time you'll feel the climb your high it builds like a lightning st
It sings like pearls You know that girl and no one is any the wiser
So as if on cue ..... Electron Blue
Tomorrow's gaining speed on you
You ... you know where to run
You ... you know where to run
You ... you know where to run
