Lyrics
Faith on the Run
By Darrin James
Matching people, like matching socks,
in a matching house on a matching block
Worry about money, worey about their hair
Worry about the races of the faces they stare
Live in a dream, Where you are queen
Live in a castle, could make you scream
Worry about death, questioning life
Questioning the love you share with your wife
Nihilists can have their fun
I?m here watching faith on the run
If you got money, fill your house with stuff
No matter how much, it?s never enough
What lies ahead is so unclear
Like the aging body that you see in the mirror
The sun is shining even if you don?t see it
I know you must feel love even if you didn?t mean it
The newspaper comes even if you don?t read it
The church bell rings even if you don?t believe
You can sell your eyes on a setting sun
I?m still watching faith on the run
I saw this couple strolling down
Avenue of the Americas
She had diamonds on her hands
He had the look of a president
They did not talk, did not touch
Did not attempt eye contact
They trudged along like some sad scene
Of some sad film or some sad dream
Evidence of a faded love
Shinin? like the neon sign above
Life grows mold, love grows cold
Is that what happened when you get old?
Nihilists can have their fun
I?m here watching faith on the run
You can sell your eyes on a setting sun
I?m still watching faith on the run
