Lyrics Running Man (Remastered) - Al Stewart
Before
the
phone
hits
the
receiver
You're
halfway
to
the
door
The
voice
said
'get
out
while
you
can,
There's
just
ten
minutes,
nothing
more'
Time
only
for
the
essentials
Better
gather
them
and
run
The
false
name
inside
the
passport,
The
gold
bars
and
the
gun
And
once
again
they've
come
out
of
the
past
And
though
your
mind
is
cool
your
heart
is
beating
fast
You've
been
through
it
all
before
Each
time
you
wish
a
little
more
that
you
could
ask
What
do
you
want
from
me?
What
do
you
need
from
me?
There's
no
rest
for
the
running
man
Why
can't
you
let
him
be?'
It's
a
long
and
twisting
journey
From
the
sweeping
northern
plains
To
the
outcrops
of
the
jungle
Bowed
beneath
the
tropic
rains
In
the
customs
hall
the
officer
Takes
you
to
one
side
And
his
eyes
reveal
no
feeling
As
you
hand
over
the
bribe
And
once
again
you've
bought
a
little
time
And
once
again
you're
fading
out
of
sight
Still
the
fox
is
growing
older
As
he
calls
over
his
shoulder
to
the
night:
What
do
you
want
from
me?
What
do
you
need
from
me?
There's
no
rest
for
the
running
man
Why
can't
you
let
him
be?
Here,
come
over
here
Beneath
a
sympathetic
moon
We'll
sit
and
talk
over
old
times
without
a
fear
Another
beer,
from
the
cafes
of
the
night
The
tumbling
rhythms
of
guitars
ring
loud
and
clear
One
by
one
they've
nailed
the
others
But
you
always
got
away
What
it
is
that
keeps
you
just
that
step
ahead
No
one
can
say
In
one
last
raid
the
agents
Of
the
dawn
break
down
the
door
Of
a
house
where
you
were
standing
Maybe
just
an
hour
before
And
still
the
thread
continues
to
unwind
You
take
the
hidden
roads
that
only
you
can
find
And
should
they
come
upon
your
tracks
There's
just
a
question
hanging
back
you
left
behind
What
do
you
want
from
me?
What
do
you
need
from
me?
No
rest
for
the
running
man
Why
can't
you
let
him
be?
What
do
you
want
from
me?
What
do
you
need
from
me?
