Run-Around

In the style of

Blues Traveler

Lyrics

oh once upon
a midnight dreary
i woke with somethin'
in my head

i couldn't escape
the memory
of a phone call
and-a what you said

like a
game show contestant
with a parting gift
i could not
believe my eyes

when i saw
through the farce
of a trusted friend
who used to humor me
and tell me lies
yeah humor me and
tell me lies

and i'll lie too
and say i don't mind
and as we seek
so shall we find
and when
you're feelin' open
i'll still be here

but not
without a certain
degree of fear
of what will be
for you and me
i still can't see
things hopefully
but you

why you wanna give me
a runaround
is it a surefire way
to speed things up
when all it does is
slow me down

shake me
in my confidence
'bout a great
many things

but i've been there
i can see you cower
like a
nervous magician
waiting in the wings

of a bad play
where the hero's right
and nobody thinks
or expects too much
hollywood's calling
for the movie rights
singing hey babe
let's keep in touch

hey baby
let's keep in touch
but i want more
than a touch
i want you to reach me
and show me
all the things
no one else can see

so what you feel
becomes mine as well
and soon
if we're lucky
we'll be unable to tell
what's yours and mine

the fishin's fine
and it doesn't
have to rhyme
so don't you feed me
a line
but you

why you wanna give me
a runaround
is it a surefire way
to speed things up
when all it does is
slow me down

ah la bamba dear
this is
the pilot speaking
and i've
got some news for you

it seems my
ship still stands
no matter
what you drop
and there ain't a
whole lot
that you can do

and so the banner
may be torn
and the wind's
gotten colder
perhaps i've grown a
little cynical

but i know no matter
what the
waitress brings
i should drink it
and always be full
yeah i will drink it
and always be full

oh i like coffee
and i like tea
but to be able
to enter a final plea
i still got this dream
that you
just can't shake

i love you to the point
you can
no longer take
well alright o.k.
so be that way

i hope and pray
that there's
something
left to say
but you
why you wanna give me
a runaround

is it a surefire way
to speed things up
when all it does is
slow me down
oh you

why you wanna give me
a runaround
is it a surefire way
to speed things up
when all it does is
slow me down
