Run like the dogs are at your heels
Run like the Earth’s on fire
Run like the wind is in your wheels
And the flames are growing higher
To melt your wings of desire

Chase the demons from your mind
Chase away your fears
But the past is never far behind
Almost close enough to hear
As it whispers in your ear:

Run rabbit run come give me my fun
I’m ready to go the distance with you
Run rabbit run, no matter how fast
I was there at the start I’ll be there at the last

Run from the sparrow you killed with a stone
Your bed, your home, this town
Run from the bottle that buoyed you up
And the one that dragged you down
And forced all hope to drown

Run from the fat that chokes the heart
Run from the fatal love
Run from the child you left behind
Run from the stars above
Run from the father run from the dame
From the secrets that you hid
From the words you shouted to your shame
And the ones you never did

Run rabbit run come give me my fun
I’m ready and willing and able to go the distance with you
Run rabbit run, no matter how fast
I was there at the start I’ll be there at the last
