Running Out Of Luck.
Like a face in the shadow,
I can't see you.
But I know that you're there,
stickin' to me just like glue.
I'm on the run,
but can't go anywhere.
I just hide in the gloom.
Waiting for the force to subside.
But the river's still raging.
It's a force that just can't be denied.
(chorus) You're running out of luck...
and I need to find a rescue.
You're running out of luck...
I'm just waiting in the dark.
You're running out of luck...
and my heart ain't really in it no more.
You took all of the mystery
and you run it straight into the ground.
You speak in circular logic,
it's all just words to me now.
I'm running low on my patience.
Don't know if I'll find it again.
I can paint a smile on my face,
but I know that it's just pretend.
(chorus)
You take me out to the bridge.
I'm looking straight over the edge.
I'm wondering how it went wrong
as I lean close to the edge.
Under the howling wind...
seems like the verdict's come in.
I can stand my own ground,
but the air is getting thin.
(chorus)
Next song: Still Holding On.
