I’m on the run and I don’t know why,
I’ve got a gun but it ain’t been fired,
(they call me) Dangerous, on the news,
But this victim is just confused,
They look at me and I look at you,
Just who the hell is telling the truth,
(they got my) Name and my number too,
Won’t somebody tell me what I am gonna do.
There was a time when I could have said no,
Must’ve been a time when I let it all go,
Now I’m in trouble up to my neck and I’m-
Down on my knees.
My name in the papers,
My face on the news at 10,
So tonight I’ll be running,
Running all over again.
(Chorus) When it chills you to the bone,
Hidin’ in the night,
Your heart just turns to stone,
Running on the danger-
Running on the danger-line.
Why be afraid, I did no wrong,
I ain’t shot or hurt no-one,
(I got the) Desperation of a wanted man,
My head in my hands.
Should I stop, why can’t you see,
I’m innocent but they’ll never believe,
(just tonight) Won’t you give me your hands,
Don’t want to die as a lonely, lonely man.
