Lyrics Run-Around - Blues Traveler
Once
upon
a
midnight
dreary
I
woke
with
something
in
my
head
I
couldn′t
escape
the
memory
Of
a
phone
call
and
of
what
you
said
Like
a
game
show
contestant
with
a
parting
gift
I
could
not
believe
my
eyes
When
I
saw
through
the
voice
of
a
trusted
friend
Who
needs
to
humour
me
and
tell
me
lies
Yeah
humour
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
feeling
open
I'll
still
be
here
But
not
without
a
certain
degree
of
fear
Of
what
will
be
with
you
and
me
I
still
can
see
things
hopefully
But
you
Why
you
wanna
give
me
a
run-around
Is
it
a
sure-fire
way
to
speed
things
up
When
all
it
does
is
slow
me
down
And
shake
me
and
my
confidence
About
a
great
many
things
But
I′ve
been
there
I
can
see
it
cower
Like
a
nervous
magician
waiting
in
the
wings
Of
a
bad
play
where
the
heroes
are
right
And
nobody
thinks
or
expects
too
much
And
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
fear
becomes
mine
as
well
And
soon
if
we're
lucky
we′d
be
unable
to
tell
What's
yours
and
mine
the
fishing′s
fine
And
it
doesn't
have
to
rhyme
so
don't
feed
me
a
line
But
you
Why
you
wanna
give
me
a
run-around
Is
it
a
sure-fire
way
to
speed
things
up
When
all
it
does
is
slow
me
down
Tra,la,la,la,la
bomba
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
Oh
sure
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
shall
drink
it
and
always
be
full
Yeah,
I
will
drink
it
and
always
be
full
Oh
I
like
coffee
And
I
like
tea
I'd
like
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
all
right
okay
So
be
that
way
I
hope
and
pray
That
there's
something
left
to
say
But
you
Why
you
wanna
give
me
a
run-around
Is
it
a
sure-fire
way
to
speed
things
up
When
all
it
does
is
slow
me
down
But
you
Why
you
wanna
give
me
a
run-around
Is
it
a
sure-fire
way
to
speed
things
up
When
all
it
does
is
slow
me
down
